I have had McAfee protection on my computer for many years and have been very pleased with it.
However, this morning, while tring to read some of the topics posted here on the board, McAfee has blocked several stating that there are potential hazards included in them and is preventing me from even seening any of the postings.
I can do P.M.s and post my own but that seems to be the end of the access.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on or what I can do?
Thanks

I have McAfee and just the last few days have had the same problem. Not every post, just some of them. Most likely they will have a fix for it in a few days. Probably a part of their program doesn't like something. On the whole I am totally satisfied with McAfee.

I have McAfee but have not had that problem. There was a previous post about the same thing. Patrice asked that you save the error message and forward it to tech support. Can't remember the email address. You could contact Patrice.

I too have McAfee and have the same going on in the last few days , I think it has something to do with the ads that are appearing at the top of the page. I recently had an update and it since then I noticed when the ad changes sometimes that notice shows up.

I use Norton AntiVirus and it has proven very helpful in a lot of instances.

I got a virus while I had McAfee in place. I had to wait until my McAfee was up to cancel it because they would not listen to me that I did not want it anymore. They told me they could not keep all the bad stuff out.

Ended up with NOD. Got it from a computer store. So far no problems.

I had this identical problem with McAfee.....UGH! Prior to that I had Norton and it made my computer run too slow, frequently interferring with my web downloads, etc. About a year and a half ago, I installed Avast. I really like this anti-virus program.

We used to use it---we have found Panda to be a better choice.

The first thing I do is remove it when I get a new pc; tons of problems with it.

EagarBeez 10-17-2011 06:25 AM

I use Norton and have had no problems

I have heard McAfee is not 100 0/0 secure... I use Kaspersky and neve had a problem.. Yet.

Carron 10-17-2011 01:26 PM

Thanks everyone, I had no idea that there were so many different anti virus programs available.
As it is I not longer have the problem. Not sure if McAfee corrected it or someones' magic wand did it but I am happy to report all is well.....for now!
