Mcafee blocking mathtype application in word

Hello!

I use the Mathtype plugin in microsoft word however Mcafee is blocking this application.

I get the warning: "Word can not open document: user does not have access privileges".

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you,

Fernando

Disable Mcafee real time protection does the doc open now if now might not be a McAfee issue. I assume it is now giving a malware detection warning if so that is another issue.

Hello Peacekeeper

I did this before going to the forum. I reinstalled windows and all applications one by one. With each application I tried to open the document. I discovered that the incompatibility occurs with McAfee WebAdvisor.

The word document only opens if McAfee WebAdvisor is not installed. I do not know what causes this incompatibility.

Thank you very much for your reply!

Hi Fernando

I would like to test this application in my Lab PC and post back my findings. I'll start my investigation based on Web Advisor.
