Warlock Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 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. Warlock If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

Moderators hazelnut Posted October 6, 2011 Author Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2011 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.

Moderators Nergal Posted October 6, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2011 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) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

JDPower Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Siteadvisor (the plugin Mozilla says to disable) is actually very usefull and not bloat like the antivirus/security products 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?
