debug privileges from terminating McAfee processes.
Users with debug program privileges can still stop
McAfee processes even though you select this

Administrators have debug program privileges by default for
Windows XP and Windows 2003 operating systems. Remove these
privileges from the user’s permissions so that they cannot stop
McAfee processes.
