Not necessarily.  Did you install Flash Player for Firefox?  If so, be sure
McAfee Security Scan Plus was not also installed.  When I installed the
latest version of Flash Player for Firefox, version 11.9.900.170, McAfee
Security Scan Plus was installed also.  I could find no means of unselecting
it.  This malware scanner program is probably harmless, but if you find it
on your list of installed programs and don't want it on your computer, you
will have to remove it manually.
