If you're a bot of some kind, ZIP IT. I don't like bots answering my posts. Reading responses from programs (not humans) that:
a) don't actually read the entire post, and
b) tell me to do things I've already done that I said I did in my original post
make me want to sue somebody (just so I can get an intelligent human being to talk to that understands more than keywords). I want solutions I ***haven't tried already***.
If you're a human (and not a bot), learn to READ THE ENTIRE POST before responding.
Either way, I don't want to hear any more from you - I want your supervisor, or someone of higher expertise than yours, to discuss and fix my issue.
:mad::mad:
That having been said, please RE-READ my original post, AND my comments on your reply below before you forward my issue to your supervisor.
1. McAfee ***Total Protection 2009*** does not have SiteAdvisor as a separate program, and therefore cannot be uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs. It is embedded into McAfee, and also into Internet Explorer 7, and there are no toggle switches in the main McAfee programs anywhere to remove it or disable it. Trying to disable the IE7 extension without unchecking the checkbox I mentioned in the original post is impossible unless there is something I missed completely, or unless McAfee has a custom remedy available. I want to know what I missed, or what remedy McAfee has available. I don't like to think that by unchecking that checkbox I've disabled something important...unless you can tell me for a fact that unchecking that checkbox cannot possibly disable anything important (which I would find hard to believe without a very thorough explanation).
2. Concerning making all of my programs full-access: I already have done that, and it had no effect (and neither did making all of the executables full access, either - which, by the way, does the same thing as what you suggested). I did everything I could do, and my programs are still being blocked. Without a more robust firewall report log or report window, I can't tell for myself what's being blocked, nor why. Therefore, I am asking McAfee to kindly tell me what to do to remedy the situation, or to fix it for me.
And to whoever runs this site, if you have bots on here, GET RID OF THEM. They do nothing but frustrate experienced users like me. And yes, Norton uses them too, which is part of the reason I got rid of their product (crappy support). Would you like to be lumped (unfavorably) along with them? I thought not.
Really, REALLY angry,
KK
