SAN FRANCISCO, RSA CONFERENCE, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network
Associates, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leader in intrusion prevention solutions,
today announced the McAfee(R) Entercept(R) Desktop edition for Microsoft
Windows 2003 and Windows XP. McAfee Entercept Desktop, which offers

threats.

prevention everywhere throughout the infrastructure to the desktop to the
