Hi, I was running AOL Safety and Security Center [the latest version] which
has a suite of McAfee apps installed, including Firewall and Antivirus and
Spyware blocker. I'm on Windows XP SPII.

The Security center checks internet traffic, but it created a known error
for AOL's service center. A pop up message would appear every 3 minutes from
the start/task bar area saying "Your Antivirus Definitions have been
updated." This pop up would keep popping up even if you selected no
notifications. It would pop up in front of all other programs, getting in
the way of the current work space. Very annoying. I deinstalled AOL
yesterday and cancelled my membership.

I was wondering if this is a known issue with McAfee's direct buy product as
well or only with the AOL version.

Thanks
Jeff

Panda_man : You mean McAfee firewall here,am I right?


I was wondering if McAfee's direct buy software has this same problem and if
so, what other home user recommended programs cause the least amount of
system troubles??



Sorry but I cannot understand your question and problem.What exactly do you
mean ? Is these pop-ups problem for you or what ? I cannot be sure so
redesign your post including more information + what Operating system and
Service Pack you use.Help us help you! :)
