Very Cool.....is there way to convert the kixtart script to a vbs or js....I really don't want
to deploy kixtart to all my users....

I think yoy mean "Om Access" scanning. McAfee should NOT perform a "On Demand" scan at boot
up.

I inserted the following KiXtart script snippet to turn off the the McAfee "On Access"
scanner.

;McAfee v4.5 SP1
;-----------------------------------------------------------
if exist ("c:\Program Files\Network Associates\VirusScan\*.*")=1
shell "%comspec% /c net stop mcshield nul"
shell "%comspec% /c net stop AVSynMgr nul"
endif

;Mcafee v7.1E and v8.0i
;-----------------------------------------------------------
if exist ("C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\*.*")=1
shell "%comspec% /c net stop McAfeeFramework nul"
shell "%comspec% /c net stop McTaskManager nul"
shell "%comspec% /c net stop McShield nul"
endif

At the end of the script the PC would be rebooted.

Note that in the script not only was SP2 installed but the c:\i386 folder was slip-streamed
to SP2 level as well.
