In fact, it stays in the browser even when the McAfee Suite is uninstalled. It's active only on the browser as a plug-in. It simply provides a warning when clicking, usually accidentally, on a site it doesn't like. It just pops up a "Are you sure you want to go there" screen. It's disabled now.

I used to have McAfee as a anti-virus program but it slowed the computer I had at the time down. Not as bad as Norton, but still consumed a lot of resources. I've been using AVG now for over four years and like it a lot. Doesn't seem to affect the computer speed and works just fine. I don't use McAfee as an anti-virus program. The site advisor is a separate plug-in. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! It's still a McAfee program running in the background checking the websites you visit to see if there's a record of malware, viruses, etc. I had it. I got rid of it and my computer ran much faster and smoother. As Greg said, McAfee is a virus unto itself, much like Norton used to be. It was on the XP laptop that I have but no longer use, BTW. Someone recommended AVG and I've used it ever since. The only time it has an affect on computer speed is when you have initiated a full scan of your computer. What's nice about it however is that you can set a priority from "user sensitive" which allows you to continue to use the computer for other things while it scans with little to no affect on computer speed to "Fast" which is good if you are not going to use the computer for a while. I used the free version for two years and liked it so much that I upgraded to the full version. Frankly, I think the free version was sufficient for protection. AVG will also block or alert you to a suspicious website also, like McAfee. It just doesn't bog your computer down doing so. I'll give it a shot, thanks. Cox sent free McAfee to all its subscribers. I've undone the McAfee virus scan, but left the site advisor. Will shut it down and see what happens. An IT friend convinced me to can McAfee and go with the Microsoft Security Essentials, which is what I've done. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! John, again, I am far from being a computer expert but I know it is generally *not* recommended to have two virus protection programs running on your computer at the same time. You may have turned off the routine McAfee virus scan of the hard drive but if you left "site adviser" running it means that McAfee is still installed and running. It could possibly conflict with the Microsoft Security Essentials.

I thought that was hilarious...a possible murderer and perpetrator of virii and spyware who would love to insert a backdoor into a federal government computer network. Which antivirus software is your I-Etch-a-sketch running. Inquiring minds really don't G A S. ;-) -- Americans deserve better. |

We all know who Michelle Obummer brought it, and that bitch failed to the tune of a half billion dollars.... and we still don't have a website... A group of programmers put up a site last week that will show you what you will spend on Obummercare, they built it over a weekend, in three days... |
