Direct quote from ZoneAlarm: McAfee VirusScan E-mail Scan Module is attempting to monitor user activities on this computer. If allowed it may try to track or log keystrokes (user input), mouse movements/clicks, web sites visited, and other user behaviors.

It can be hijacked and used to actually SEND fake emails. I might add though, the chances of this happening are tiny (unless you browse the web with McAfee disabled). Also, good point...

Can consume all system resources, the displayed memory usage from within Task Manager is often not acurate.
