Thanks for the help V.V.
I didn't know where to add in extra policies for what I needed but that helped.
Adding that entry for the path to McAffee didn't totally help. It delayed the starting of the service, but after about 10 minutes it would start up, but it didn't start immediately now. I think Novell G.P. is taking over after awhile...
Since McAfee's not starting immediately any more I can now rename McAffee's executable files since they're not in use yet. Adding a nice .bak file extension changed them enough that it doesn't load it.
To check that it's really no loading, McAfee is neither started nor stopped in services.msc, just blank. Also in the Event Viewer, there is this nice tidbit:
