My work McAfee just updated recently and it now runs something called "ePolicy Orchestrator Agent". Any ideas what this is, does, etc.? Is Big Brother logging my time on here? LOL!

Thanks, Travis -- should have checked the McAfee site first, I guess! LOL! At least it is good to know that they aren't logging me here yet, so I am free to answer away.

What is ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO)?
ePolicy Orchestrator is a network application that works with the ePolicy Orchestrator Agent installed on a workstation to schedule McAfee VirusScan installations, virus scans, and virus definition updates.
What is the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) Agent?
The ePO Agent is the link between the McAfee VirusScan software and the ePolicy Orchestrator network application. The ePolicy Orchestrator Agent receives communication from the ePO to know when and how to install McAfee VirusScan, schedule virus scans, and update virus definitions.
What's the difference between the current McAfee VirusScan software and McAfee VirusScan 8.0i?
While affording the same protections as before, Version 8.0i also provides additional protections against Internet-based virus attacks. It attempts to block Internet communications to your computer that are suspected to be virus activity. It also attempts to prevent viruses from using your computer to attack others over the network. This saves precious network resources and helps to keep your computer from being blocked from using the Internet.
