You were not imagining it boofhead. I have a McAfee VirusScan CD-ROM case right in front of me. The last item in the feature list states "Lifetime Virus Signature Updates." That's what you get to see at the store before you pay your money. However the license that you accept by virtue of installation states that "you are entitled to download and use all upgrades of the SOFTWARE (including virus signature files (DAT files)) released during the one year period following purchase.". .. .Some lifetime! Software - what a racket.. .. .The DOS version of F-Protect remains free for personal use.. .<a href="http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/download/getfpdosfree.html" target="_blank">http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/download/getfpdosfree.html</a>. .Updated virus signature files can be found at Simtel mirrors. I have used F-Protect for over ten years. However, unless you safely configure your email and internet applications I don't recommend it as your only malware protection.
