I was digging through the archives of another website dedicated to
cygwin and ssh and found this:
http://erdelynet.com/archive/ssh-l/2006-02/3608.html

It is for version 8.0i (which is what I am running), but have you
tried running rebaseall as it suggests?

This wacky long-might-not-work link from searching Google groups
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.security.ssh/browse_thread/thread/7810b0a30cb365ac/40f54b7f99935de9?lnk=st&q=ssh+mcafee&rnum=1&hl=en#40f54b7f99935de9
suggests running sshd with '-D -r'

Good luck!

By the way, have you tried to contact McAfee support?
