No, Firefox ... wouldn't let Comcast spyware, firewall, etc run ... would ya say to forget about the Comcast and go Firefox w/ WOT? I did like Firefox soooooo much better, seamless operationally ... Well, I did that before and lost the Comcast on suite of protection ... not compatible ... DANG! If you are NOT using Firefox yet, you should definitely switch, then install WOT on it, which when used with search engines, e-mail or any other place that has a link, WOT is there to let you know if it's safe (green circle) or bad (red circle) and does not use any extra resources being that it is a plugin for Firefox. Use WOT with your anti-virus and firewall for added protection. Believe me when I say it will greatly reduce the chances of getting a virus. what do you mean its not compatible? WOT should have nothing to do with Comcast suite protection.... So comcast suite is just Mcafee? I am curious, how does Firefox prevent comcast crappy Mcafee from running on the computer? Comcast said they've not yet made it compatible, they/Comcast prevent it, not Firefox... and, DOH! ... Thanx for readin' between the lines ... YES: CCCCCCrrrrrappy McAfee ... lame at best! |

Yeah, not thrilled w/ Safari so far ... It is the latest Snow Leopard Mac, heard it might still have bugs interfacing wise ... And, Mo_Muirnin, Safari w/ Mac??? Better than Firefox ... only thing compatible??? What's the story? I'm new to Macs ... 1 week in ... THANX! Firefox for Mac should be compatible and probably much better than Safari... How is the newest Snow Leopard? Worth getting? I switched back to xp from vista, so glad I did! And my comp uses Panda Cloud, Outpost firewall free and WOT on firefox. |

Wot is a great addition and I would, in my personal opinion, get rid of Mcafee and find a suitable antivirus for Mac (although mac's don't get many viruses, one reason they're so great to have) Then i'd install Web of trust on firefox. I don't use McAfee on Mac, all 'mac geeks' said not to ... and that nothing is yet unnecessary ... and so preferable to havin' it slowed down by useless programs runnin' ... That is one of the main reasons I FORCED myself to switch ... I'm sick to death of Microsoft really ... |

Comcast said that 'Comcast provided McAfee' is NOT compatible w/ Firefox ... will not install/run ... that's all I know ... and I can attest to havin' tried my damndest hard!

I'd switch to mac but never used it and my computer is so outdated i'm lucky I could use vista and 7 LOL...Great that you aren't using Mcafee on the mac. So what is the problem with installing firefox with web of trust? They are both compatible with mac. :) |

That's like Kaspersky incompatible with some software, even other security products. Not a good thing when compatibility comes into the picture, especially with well known software. |

Well, I am lovin' it, hands down! And ... I've nothin' to compare it to, 1st hands on Mac of any kind experience ... I've 'heard' some compatibility bugs 'might still be in the shiftin' to be smoothed out, I've noticed nothing ... I did need a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse ... just could NOT bottle the mac keyboard/mouse ... yuch ... though I'm certain I lost some kewl buttons! Only my own personal learning curve in switching over, windows '98 and XP have been the extent of my self taught experience ... why I type so slowly, apologies ...

That's like Kaspersky incompatible with some software, even other security products. Not a good thing when compatibility comes into the picture, especially with well known software. what about your daughters computer? She on mac too? or this the same computer? No, daughter got my old Dell XP 2000, top of the line, but 5 years old, 2 year old hard drive ... that's the one currently on Comcast/McAfee that blue screened on me today. Musikman suspected her mp3 downloadin' as the source of bother. I restored it to last known working well configuration and it was fine, whew! But I hate IE and would love to make the change back to Firefox, just gotta figure the security as the McAfee is/was free ... if useless. Hear ya ... BIG risk outlay on the Mac ... been my dream for years, as we are both so arty. Want to get that huge Adobe program as next big investment, could take more yrs as a single parent. She will get to use the Mac for all her artwork, movies, musical composition, etc. 'Macites' all say I'll get an easy 10 years ... got the 24 inch desktop IMAC vs a laptop ... big investment ... MUST last ... I know you hear/feel me! I'm an unsupported single parent ... he abandoned her ... blah! |

Get a free firewall, most large companies now offer...such as webroot free firewall, outpost firewall, pc tools firewall..also check into pc tools antivirus these are all free and great tools. This site: http://www.matousec.com/ does several tests on firewall and antivirus software. There it can tell you the best of the best both free and paid. And most of the free versions are compatible with FF and WOT :) |

She's such a way kewl geek too ... You are as well ...Hmmm, and you're both so cute and close in age ... 
Anyway ... Love her left/right brain interplay that shows in her geek meets artist/photographer! Very kindred to me, as an artist/science geek, that is why Ntl Medicine Arts works so well for me ... full brain use! I definitely take note when she speaks and displays. Didya notice that she has a current 365 posts count; one for each day ... kismik ... 
Thanx to BOTH of you, again and again ... xox ... |
