Make sure you have unistalled all remnants of Firewall plus.Start in

control panel then search for leftovers and delete.

 Be sure that everything you get rid of is part of the Mcafee Firewall Plus.

Just a idea.  Good luck.

Thanks, chasbox, for the advice; however, I am trying to keep MPF on my computer (as I assume that even in its unupdated state, it is perfoming a valid function), without having the annoyances of the constant requests from McAfee to update.

Another idea. The next time it pops up, open it and see if you can unsubscribe from getting these alerts. It might be in the small print on the page somewhere. Good luck

Hi 

both my Mcafee AV and Firewall run out soon. I got lucky when i went to Costco.

They had Mcafee AV and Firewall newest versions bundled for $ 39.99 with  $ 20 rebate.

I already received the rebate.  Not bad.

 

I get those messages also whenever the subscription is up. A couple of years ago I tried to figure out how to remove the reminder for firewall while leaving the program on my computer but I never came up with a way to do it. The next low price deal I saw for the McAfee package(viruscan + firewall+ ?) I bought, so of course that stopped the reminders. The price after rebates was very low and that's what I've doing each year since.

I love it. Truly $19.99 for "protection," if ya know whatti mean.

Hi,

I can't say for sure but mcupdmgr sounds like the update manager, try disabling that in msconfig.  If that stops the problem you can probably turn it off in services or the registry.  If your using mcafee's AV or other products you will probably be stopping those updates too.

You may be right, but this would be dangerous. I am trying to keep the VirusScan updates coming, but close off the Personal Firewall messages. So I don't think I want to disable this file.

Well, you may just have to accept that sometimes you just can't get something for nothing.

I did check. Nothing there.

If you have McAfee Security Center installed, open it and click "Updates" at top of the window.
Click Configure button
Click Advanced button
Uncheck "enable all alerts"
Uncheck "alert me when a product update occurs"
etc...

Thanks, Ron, I did try to make the adjustments to the McAfee Security Center just as you suggested without luck. Every day, the message comes up, and I have to send it away by clicking "Continue What I Was Doing."

Any idea how to buy printer  ink for cheaper prices???  I have the Dell all in one 924.

Any idea's would be great.  Thx,

Jay

 

rbenjam - So why not just uninstall Personal Firewall and use something free like ZoneAlarm? That's what I did on my 8400.

BTW: firewalls do have to be updated from time to time, just like any other software. They find better ways to do it, or to fix a bug or hole, or to block new ways to attack your PC. ZoneAlarm has come out with several (free) updates since I started using it.

JC64- Why the heck did you post a question about ink cartridges in the middle of this thread about McAfee software in the Software-Other Software forum? I see you're a new member here, so how about learning a little forum ettiquite? Please post your questions in the appropriate forum. In your case, the Printers-Dell Inkjet Printers forum. And please don't jump into the middle of someone else's thread with a totally unrelated question, start your own thread. Thanks.

Ron
