As it turns out McAfee is part of a package that contained other stuff 
my wife wanted and which would have added about JPY1,100 to the monthly 
bill if contracted separately.  The Head Drone (who was at lunch during 
the first encounter) helpfully suggested that, if she didn't want the 
McAfee component, she could just not activate it and keep the stuff she 
wanted at the lower price.  He actually agreed that Avast! was superior 
to McAfee and confessed to using it himself on his own Android phone.

Draw your own conclusions.
