McAfee VirusScan Enterprise block irc by default

Was trying to add eclipse irc today. got error when try to connect to serverr.
Finally found out that the McAfee VirusScan is blocking IRC protocol by default.

Enable it, then reconnect, everything works fine now.

What is the point to block IRC?
It is sound quite safe to me, need to check the risk later on.
