Every time my admins force a new version of McAfee, I modify the installation 
to remove the feature which checks every script every time it is executed, 
instead setting it up to perform a full weekly scan.  I have had no problems 
this way with setup or running builds.  With that McAfee feature enabled, 
scripts will stall so long that standby is invoked.
