McAfee McAgent.exe

I've decided that the mcagent.exe process installed by McAfee's Total Protection 2010 would be more aptly named "McHippie.exe".

Why? Because it just sits around in a daze, doing nothing, while consuming all your resources.

Bah-rum-bump.

(With apologies to actual, honest-to-God, granola-eating hippies.)

Self-inflicted facepalm #97129

I just figured I'd drop a brief note here, for posterity, to assist others who fail to inspect their own .htaccess files to see if, perhaps, they've restricted access to only their IP address, and have embarked on a wild goose chase to track down an obscure "client denied by server configuration" error.

I spent an hour researching this issue this evening. The Googles present a wide variety of potential fixes, but it turns out that the real problem was that I'd outsmarted myself by restricting a particular directory to my old IP address via an .htaccess file.
