"Browser Requirements
Please note that Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or higher) or Firefox 1.5 (or higher) is required to purchase and install McAfee products.

To continue, please return to the previous page using Internet Explorer or Firefox."

This should wrap what would you expect from a company making antivirus to run on an advanced OS like Leopard. Nothing.

Sad thing is, Intego really needs a real rival to stop their insane pricing policy. With rivals like these, there is no hope.

This program. ver. 8.6 made my home folder disappear right after installing it. I had to go into my guest profile.. looked in the users folder and my profile folder was empty. I downloaded the program again and used its uninstaller and my home folder reappear ..... scared me bad.

Before uninstalling I did try a few things from the new profile I had just created.. I couldn't even repair permissions..
