I'm curious - The security portion of our enterprise wide IT group has installed a system that forces our McAfee 4.5 package to provide only System Scan. They claim that the System Scan is the only required piece. Does McAfee come with 'stuff' that we don't need? (Or are these 'security' guys NUTS?)
 
Depending on how your network is configured, it is possible you may only need a system scan to prevent viruses from being introduced locally. It is possible your security team has incorporated scanning at the server level (proxy, email, etc;)to catch incoming viruses.
