A "virus scan" "program" that acts like a virus- possibly the most ingenious act of double-agentry in computer history. If connected to the internet, it will update and reboot without warning at the worst possible times.
If on a computer that is not connected to the internet, it still manages to wreck your work once the subscription runs out. Every time you turn on the computer, after a few minutes a small McAfee ad will pop up in the corner urging you to renew your subscription. It appears behind whatever window you have open, but as soon as you click in the area that the ad is, it teleports you back to the desktop to LOOK AT THE AD. Will your program still work after being quite jarringly interrupted right in the middle of something? Maybe, but McAfee doesn't care.
