Yep, that's correct. The retail prot line after v7.x no longer have the McAfee Command Line
Scanner (MCLS).

However, I have created a program that makes downloading and using the MCLS very easy and at
the end of the scan the a HTML log file of the scan will be displayed in your browser
(either FireFox or IE).

You can download the self extracting ZIP file for the tool, clean.exe at Ian Kenefick's web
site -- http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm as the "Clean Tool"

Direct URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/clean.exe

There is a PDF help file included and there is a DOSCLEAN.BAT batch file -- For use on a
Win9x/ME PC or on a Win2K/WinXP PC that is using FAT32 after you have booted from an
Emergency Boot Disk or DOS disk and have already executed; c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT from
within Windows. DOS disk boot images can be obtained from;
