Hi. I have the same problem. I've been using the SiteAdvisor plugin with Firefox for several months now no problem. Today I downloaded & installed SiteAdvisor for IE. Now I have v.2.8.255 for both IE 7 & Fiirefox 3, the Firefox plugin no longer has an Uninstall option, McAfee SiteAdvisor is now an item in Add or Remove Programs, and there's a new automatic McAfee SiteAdvisor Service. That's all ok, but I would like to lose the Event Viewer Application entry that's generated on every bootup:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: McAfee SiteAdvisor Service
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 9/15/2008
Time: 12:37:41 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BOB
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( McAfee SiteAdvisor Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started.
I'm wondering, if I change the McAfee SiteAdvisor Service startup type from Automatic to Manual and reboot, will I get the Event Viewer entry when I launch either browser? Probably.
If I remove McAfee SiteAdvisor from Add or Remove Programs, reboot, download and install the Firefox plugin (not IE), will I be back to normal, or are we stuck?
If I disable the service, will the Firefox plugin still work? It did before.
That would be ok, I only use IE for Microsoft Updates anyway.
So many problems, so little time.
Thx!
