Adobe Flex (Flash) on IE with McAffee slow load.

We are Software Company, and we are preparing to deploy Flex (Adobe Flash base) application.
With our user base we discovered that if McAffee is being installed on user machine there is significant slowdown on loading swf file in IE6 or IE7 (FireFox is fine). It is getting even worse when the same instance of the browser is used to launch another instance of the app (for example in the new tab of IE7)

Any advise?

I just tested it on Pentium 4, 2.8GHr, Windows XP, The most recent McAfee Security Center.
The main symptom is there is increasing lag between response from the server and Flash Player starts initialization. This is even more annoying since the server is responding with 304 header - to use the browser cache, so there is less network traffic happening, but it takes longer and longer to launch it.

Hi,

Adobe Flex appears to be a pretty specialized product. Are you talking about its interaction with McAfee home/consumer products as normally a home user wouldn't be using such an application?


If you are talking about Enterprise/Corporate McAfee products then your question should be posted in that section: http://community.mcafee.com/forumdisplay.php?f=122

Since this Flash based application it is not targeted to any specific corporate setup. It can be run from any browser that has Flash Player9 and above install. There is not restriction whether it is home or corporate computer.
Do you think this is the wrong forum for that type of the problem?

I guess it would apply to any of the versions then. I'll have to flag this as I have no idea. We aren't McAfee staff.

OK I've asked for help. It would help to know what McAfee software versions the machines with the slow downs actually have installed.

So just hitting this link in IE 6 or 7 should cause the issue?

Just for the record, no problems here in IE8.

Yes, we were using IE6 and IE7.
It is a little bit easy to do with IE7, since it has tabs.
Firefox is fine.
