Re: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 & Vista?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Adam & WAMUGers,

Well, I'm confused now. Some sites are saying McAfee Internet  
Security Suite 2007 IS compatible with Vista,

but my Vista Ultimate is saying 'It is not Compatible'?



But now I have found this:
http://ca.mcafee.com/vista/

"If purchased from retail, you can download the Vista compatible  
version directly from this website by clicking here.
 You must have retail CD in the PC´s CD drive before installation  
starts.

Be sure to keep your McAfee product CD that was included in the box.
You will need this CD for authentication to add the Vista-compatible  
upgrade.
If user already has XP installed, it will be downloaded and installed  
via automatic upgrade.
When you upgrade your operating system to Vista, McAfee software will  
automatically upgrade and work – seamlessly for you."


Well, we shall see?

Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Adam,

This time I made sure I had Windows Firewall turned off before I  
tried to install McAfee.
Windows Compatibility Tool (or whatever it's called) opened this  
time & alerted me to 'this software is not compatible with Vista'.

Windows has no known fix for it.

I will keep searching the McAfee site  hopefully have an update  
for Vista somewhere?


Thanks again, I appreciate it.

One thing to make sure of is that you disabled the windows

you installed it as it may be that it is clashing (and I know for  
a fact

that a majority of them do *not* disable the Windows Firewall during
installation).

Hi WAMUGers,

I have the latest Parallels v3-5160 and had WindowsXP running with
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 installed, perfectly.

I then decided to erase WindowsXP VM and install Windows Vista
Ultimate in Parallels  yep, everything went well and Vista was
working.
It is slower than WindowsXP and is heavy on CPU and my MacBook Pro
(2.4 GHz / 3GB/ 800MHz/ 160GB HD) runs hotter.

I then tried to install McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 in
Vista . oh dear  not a good idea.
It seemed to complete it's installation and then Vista asks to be
restarted, which I did . then all Hell broke loose, Vista blocks
some startup items and then says it has a 'Critical Error' and will
shutdown.
But, It won't shutdown, it won't do anything  I had to just Quit
Parallels.

I downloaded McAfee Removal tool, but Vista would not stay working
for me to uninstall McAfee.
I eventually managed to start Vista Ultimate in Safe Mode & was able
to uninstall McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007.

Have you heard of anyone that has been able to install & run McAfee
Internet Security Suite 2007 in Vista?
I understood it was compatible with Vista .. On the box I notice
it does not mention Vista ;-(
I've searched and searched the Internet & McAfee's support for an
answer, to no avail.
I think there must be an update for Vista, but I'm damned if I can
locate one.

Failing this, I guess I will have to install the 'Kaspersky Internet
security' that Parallels has under its 'Actions' menu.
This of course will cost me more dollars!
Or else re-install WindowsXP in Parallels.

Thanks for any information regarding this, I will appreciate it as
always.

Cheers,

Ronni who is focused on my beloved 'Pies' winning tonight against
'The Cats' ;-)
