Actually, it's even worse than that. It seems that the developers of Virex were USING Fink, hard-linked their software to use packages installed by Fink, and then distributed their software in such a way as to be incompatible with Fink. Oops. Read more in McAfee's help forum at <http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=6318&sid=33d08f3c34f7e09dc546aa1ddf1c299c> Very enlightening, and certainly should give anyone pause at the idea of running software that is given a lot of power to delete/block/protect you when the programmers of said software seem to have been VERY sloppy.

Well, Fink had their directory structure first, so I would say it is Virex
that is stepping all over it. Not to mention that Virex isn't a useful
program to begin with (and not because Viruses don't affect the Mac, I am
not that foolish yet).
