Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin 213
itwbennett writes "Mozilla is advising Firefox users to disable McAfee's ScriptScan software, saying that it could cause 'stability or security problems.' ScriptScan, which ships with McAfee's VirusScan antivirus program, is designed to keep Web surfers safe by scanning for any malicious scripting code that might be running in the browser. But according to Mozilla, it has an unintended side-effect: It can cause Firefox to crash ... a lot."

Not a bad question. Personally, I haven't looked at Norton or McAfee seriously in about 5 years. I USED to know which ones used how much memory, and how much they slowed down a machine. But, I upgraded to Linux, and haven't looked back. Maybe I should look again? Maybe - if I get really bored, or I get nostalgic for some good bondage and masochism.
