... Moral of this story: READ THOSE EULA'S WORD FOR WORD!!!!!
OR at least use EULAlyzer to "read" them for you and bring your attention to stuff you may wish you'd known about later.

Thanks for the EULAlyzer tip! Will download & take a look at it. I was guilty of assuming that just because I had read the EULA when I originally bought the McAfee FW, the EULA hadn't changed. WRONG! They snuck that little tidbit into the EULA (without public announcement)sometime between Dec 2004 and March 2006.

You're welcome. "They" often sneak in a phrase giving themselves the right to make changes in agreements without notice.
