I dont have firefox, i use ms explorer. Which is a sorry excuse for a browser. How much risk does this put me at if i dont use Firefox with no AV? Ive got a brand new $2,500 computer and i dont want to see it go down the tubes.steelie34 wrote:
srsly uninstall mcafee totally. dont just disable it, get rid of it completely. so many problems are solved when i uninstall AV garbage from people's computers at work. as long as you have windows defender, and you use firefox, you don't have to worry.

Well, my dad teaches collage and he has access to free keys for xp, as long as its "work related", so im set there. Thanks for the offer though bro. Vista is such a hassle dude, this is really how bad it is. People get it, and then downgrade to xp what a shame.I'm Jamesey wrote:
