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.
