I think NAV has been doing this for several years. I don't think that NAV
actually thinks LILO is a virus, but instead merely sees the mbr is not as
it would be on a system with only MS OSs installed, that is, NAV is merely
warning the user of something it doesn't understand and therefore can't
properly interpret for the user.
With the increasing popularity and use of Linux on dual-boot systems,
though, NAV or BH should definitely allow for other boot managers being
installed in the mbr.
It's good to know that someone's on the ball though - McAfee.
