Subject: McAfee VirusScan vs Metasploit Framework v2.x

Hey guys I guess you are wasting so much time. Is very easy to just encrypt
some modules and enjoy mcafee or any other to stupidly tell you that the
computer is clean. Period, do not waste your time with McAfee or any other,
it just takes 1 second. Poor world beleiving in antivirus.

Regards
Waldo
