• McAfee Security Scan more! ??

  McAfee Security Scan Plus is automatically downloaded and installed via "Adobe Download Manager", when I update the Plugin of Firefox Acrobat! I didn't even ask if I wanted to install it! IT IS TOTALLY LAME ADOBE! I can no longer trust downloads and installations of Adobe. Is no longer a 'reliable Source '!

  http://get.Adobe.com/reader/ Just went there, and this time, I noticed the inclusion of McAfee, ALREADY CHECKED and also good box hidden far enough towards the top-right of the download button to be away from the fovea. I think it is fair to assume that Adobe has some expertise in user interface design, in which case this position indicates Adobe of the INTENTION of the user to miss this detail.

• McAfee Security Scan more and Trend Micro Security Conflict?

  I have Trend Micro security on my windows vista PC Dell.  A few months ago, I noticed that I also have McAfee Security Scan Plus wants to periodically scan my PC.  I didn't ask to install McAfee security Scan Plus, so I don't know where it comes from.  I wonder if it is not authentic, as well as the way in which it on my PC.  Do I have to get rid of him, and if yes, how do I do that?

  Sometimes the PC manufactures such as Dell will put a free demo of product antivirus PC or laptop that sell them. These anti-virus would expire after the trial and you could buy it or uninstall it.

  If you have Trend Micro, you could go into Control Panel, add/remove programs and uninstall McAfee.

• Why is Zone Alarm security incompatible with Firefox 24.0?

  In the section of the addon of Firefox, there is a statement that says ZoneAlarm Security Engine 1.5.393.22 (turned off) by www.checkpoint.com

  Why? and does this mean that if I use the Firefox browser, I'm not protected on the internet?

  Hello cfox3dc, this is the work of a third-party developer of an addon that hangs in firefox to adapt or make an extension compatible with new versions. Mozilla has released new versions of the browser on a fixed schedule makes early alpha and beta versions available in the coming months, so this is certainly not come as a surprise to any third-party developer.

  more important still, the extension you mentioned will do little to increase your coverage on the web and your main antivirus and firewall process will simply continue to run fine without it: https://www.zonealarm.com/forums/showthread.php/79640-zonealarm-and-firefox?p=296953#post296953

  It is better to stay with the current versions of the browser that contains the security fixes for all kinds of questions: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html

• Firefox 7.0.1 installed yesterday. McAfee Security is active and up to date, but your check plugins does not recognize the components. No explanation on how to fix this problem. What should do?

  In tools | Addons | Extensions, McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 14.4.1 and McAfee Site Advisor 3.4.0 are apparently active, like the button disable is present.

  In tools | Addons | Plugins, McAfee SecurityCenter 11.0.575.0, McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.0.135 and McAfee Virtual Technician 6.0.1501.0 even are apparently activated, because the button disable is present.

  But when I click on "Check to see if your plugins are up to date", these last three McAfee components are 'plug-ins unknown '. The search button gives just links without end that I don't know what to do.

  Silverlight 4.0.60831.0 (that I don't use, not even sure that it is / is), Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1.33, Shockwave for Director 11.6.1.629 (don't know what it is, either), Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152 and QuickTime plugin 7.7.1.0 are all reported that up to date. I can't believe anything else is NOT up-to-date, as everything seems to be updated automatically. I know that RealPlayer or RealSomething just updated during all these misfortunes of installation.

  Why Firefox doesn't recognize some components of McAfee in a single window and not in another? Why not recognize it all? My McAfee security (paid for and satisfying) is somehow disabled by Firefox? I am at risk when you use your browser?

  The plugin check page acknowledges that some common plugins play the media on web pages and not of plugins added by as McAfee security software. So no need to worry about this. Just make sure you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with the access software and internet security (antivirus, firewall).

• I recently had to have my rebuilt computer caused by a virus. Now I have Mozilla Firefox with ABP and noticed that Mozilla has a built-in phishing and virus program. Do I need another antivirus program and if so, the one that works best with Firefox?

  I recently had to have my rebuilt computer caused by a virus. Now I have Mozilla Firefox with ABP and see that Firefox has a program's built-in phishing and viruses. Do I need a program additional anti-malware? If so, the one that works best with Firefox? Seems put more you on these things the you have more trouble.

  The anti-phishing protection and malware that Firefox uses checks against a list of websites that have been reported to contain a form of malware and then alerts you. Firefox itself does not scan files to see if they contain viruses/malware. You still need a form any anti-virus and anti-malware protection. You must also use a firewall.

  As for which is better, you are likely to get many different answers, it's a topic that generates a lot of discussion. A product one person loves will be hated by someone else. I use Microsoft Security Essentials as well as Windows Firewall.

• Recommended Security Suite for Firefox 25. Using Mcafee Security Center 12.8 worm, I was wondering if I should change to Bitdefender or Kaspersky? Any suggestion

  Have 2 Win 8 machines, running Firefox 25 and a laptop with Win 7. All three are using Mcafee Security Suite ver 12.8 with Anti Virus 16.8. The subscription runs out in February 2014. I would like to make a change and I'm concerned about compatibility with Firefox worm 25 issues. Are there problems of compatibility with Bitdefender Security of Windows 8? Are there problems of compatibility with Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 or Pure 3.0 Total Security? If I make changes on the security Suites, I'll use the same version on Win 8 and Win 7 machines. All three will use Firefox 25. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  We're not supposed to indicate any personal point of view.
  
  I'm sorry.

  After the update to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360, it is no longer captures the rejected. These cookies that have been picked up with firefox 16.0.02 what you have changed? Plus, I'm getting sick of these updates - at least we tell users what has changed in new versions.

  First of all, we do not say what has changed in each version, http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/17.0/releasenotes/.

  Secondly, Norton should always be able to delete your cookies (just so that you know that the cookies are generally harmless, and you don't need to worry to remove). If not, you can delete the cookies in Firefox Cookies - Information that Web sites store on your computer

• Norton Security no longer works with Firefox update, if I'm afraid to use it. I want safety navigation

  According to my info in Firefox I have Firefox 15.0.1 & it is up-to-date.
  I can no longer use Firefox with all my saved bookmarks and familiarity that Norton Security programs I got Comcast no longer work with Firefox. Whenever I use it, it says that my safety is compromised. I don't have any protection. Currently I use internet for purchases, that I count on privacy and security, so I now use Sarari, which I don't like at the well.

  Using Firefox, I Googled, found the info that says everything I need to do is to upgrade my Norton with Live Update and then restart Firefox. Do it, but it doesn't help, still has the same lack of protection.

  See [935636/questions/935636] [MAC] norton does not support firefox 15

• McAfee Site Advisor does not work with Firefox 6.0.1

  Different Firefox users have reported not being able to use McAfee Site Advisor with different versions of Firefox. I have the version update of Firefox (6.0.1) and have been able to use the Site Advisor until September 3, when I renewed my subscription to McAfee Internet Security, which includes the Site Advisor. Now Site Advisor no longer works with my Firefox browser.
  McAfee says that Site Advisor does not work with the "Beta version" of Firefox, but I'm not using the beta version. When I informed them of this, their response is, indeed, "Is not our problem."

  Any suggestions?

  What version of Site Advisor do you use?
  I have re-installed the latest version of Site Advisor which is 3.4 and his works fine for me on Firefox 6. Installed from their website www.siteadvisor.com
