Existing users, 
VirusScan (the software formerly known as Virex) is now apparently available for single users (licensees) for $36.55. Previously, the minimum order was either 3 or 5 "Licensees".
See here: http://www.shopmcafee.com/dr/sat5/ec_Main.Entry17C?SID=43625&SP=10023&CID=0&PID=630722&PN=1&V1=630722&CUR=840&DSP=&PGRP=0&ABCODE=&CACHE_ID=245536
The latest build (version 8.6, 11-01-07) supposedly works with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" and 10.5 "Leopard". See MACNN article: http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/11/29/virusscan.filedefense/
I've been monitoring this McAfee situation (for several years) waiting for a stable, single-user update. I'm still using Virex 7.2 (v1.1) [AKA Virex 7.2.1] on a system running 10.4 Tiger. I use "Get DAT Updates" to keep things up-to-date.
I'm not sure whether to update now, or just forget about this program when I upgrade to Leopard. Has anyone tried this latest update yet?
McAfee VirusScan
virus protection utility (was Virex)
Version: 8.6.1
VirusScan-Mac now available for Single Users - Bob K1
A bit of clarification:(1) The McAfee web site says that VirusScan 8.6 is for use with Intel processors only: "System Requirements for McAfee VirusScan for MacTel 8.0 = Apple Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger) or later 133 MHZ Intel-based processor (or greater) 32 MB RAM."
This appears to contradict VersionTracker, which says that VirusScan 8.6 works with PPC & Intel.
FYI: Apparently, McAfee has again renamed this product from "VirusScan" to "VirusScan for MacTel".
(2) In my previous post, the VirusScan update should be (version 8.6, 11-02-07 [not 11-01-07]).
