MaDonna Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 My McAfee firewall says I need anti abuse software, but I downloaded the free (with Comcast) McAfee security program and found it too dificult to understand. Is there a free anti abuse program out there that is secure but not so hard to understand? I was having to put in passwords, etc. with the McAfee and it is only me on my computer. anyone?

MaDonna Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Right now I have Norton Anti Virus and my subscription runs out in a couple months, so will try the Microsoft one. I also have McAfee Firewall free through Comcast, but when I check my security with the McAfee firewall, it says I need anti abuse and I don't know exactly what the heck they mean. thanks...

Moderators Andavari Posted October 12, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2005 I think McAfee is just trying to sell you something listed on this page: http://us.mcafee.com/root/catalog.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted October 12, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2005 Wow I think McAffee is just making up protection now. From what I can figure out anti-abuse is the same thing as anti-spam don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
