Firefox And McAfee

[ardentgent]

I am correect that McAfee and Firefox are not compatible? Bummer. :(

Why wouldn't they be? I run Mcafee firewall and Firefox is my browser of choice.

I never had a problem using both..

I'm having much more difficulty with thr new zone alarm..it's a royal pain..websites load slowly, my script url's get dns errors..

I was told this morning by McAfee support that McAfee recommends IE6 for virus updates and that sometimes updates will not be abled to be installed running Firefox.

This is from a firefox support group:

they will work together, but McAfee uses ActiveX to determine updates for your Firewall, and Fireffox does not do ActiveX, you will have to use IE for updates, just like you have to use IE for Windows Updates.

Honestly, you would think that an anti-virus company would come up with a better way than active-x to do updates... active-x is one of the major reasons why IE is such a security nightmare
