my first guess would be 'linuxshield'.

This isn't actually an oom, it's complaining because a task stayed in kernel 
context for
a really long time. This can happen if for eg, an nfs server goes away for a 
while.

Or it could just be a side-effect of the way that mcaffee does their file 
scanning.

On the surface, this doesn't look like a linux bug.
