XP vs. McAfee ???

Shocker · 11-29-2006, 01:04 PM

I havn't upgraded to the 2007 version ov McAfee, but I have the 2006 version. Does the 2007 version have McAfee's Privacy Service? I know that the way mine is configured, you need to sign on to the Privacy Service first before it allows you to access the internet. Otherwise, I know that there can be problems can arise when you are using multiple firewalls. I know XP has a firewall built into the operating system, and McAfee has their own. I would make sure that you've only got one of the firewalls turned on. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks, Shocker. The deal is: I'm at work, this PC is at home. I was hoping this issue might sound familiar to someone. Thanks for the information, I will be checking McAfee & Windows security settings when I get home. I hope this isn't the first part of a "why did I switch from Norton" fiasco.
