I've been avoiding McAfee since 1995.

I totally remove McAfee from any systems I touch

Hi All,

Just taking a quick break and wanted to see what is going on and contribute something. Several years ago some pals were trying to get me started and installed McAfee. I became disenchanted and wanted to install another, being Panda which was also a mistake. When I tried to uninstall McAfee it sunk its claws into me and refused to leave. Don't remember how but I finally got it out of my computer. Don't like unwelcomed guests. Got to go have a good one.

People in-the-know, know not to use it. ;)

You guys beat me to what I was going to say :lol:

I was going to say "I've been advising people to disable (uninstall) McAfee for years!

Although I agree with everything you guys say about McAfee, the point of the thread was to advise people who do use the McAfee plugin and Firefox that it causes FF to crash.

And the point of our replies is that McAfee is heap big doodoo.

....and Firefox would not crash if McAfee was not installed. :lol:

Siteadvisor (the plugin Mozilla says to disable) is actually very usefull and not bloat like the antivirus/security products

however the last few versions of firefox have pushed and erro through when using this plugin (I use it for a WOT replacement in IE)

Didn't they bloat it out when they turned it into an always on program rather than the simple, and rather good, FF extension it used to be?
