Re^2: Missing GUI using Tk and Par

It has been my experience with McAfee and other security software, that simply turning them off doesn't necessarily make them inactive. Especially with McAfee, you just about have to uninstall it to get it to stop doing things. I believe this is done to prevent malware from inactivating the antivirus software; however, it's a major problem when you're trying to eliminate the antivirus program as a cause of problems.

Well...turning off the security really decreases its effectiveness.	[reply]

Well...turning off the security really decreases its effectiveness. Yes, it certainly does. It's a Dirty Harry question - "Do I feel lucky?" My answer is always, "No". Those two security suites are flawed, IMNSHO. You ought to be able to run programs you write, either directly, or by telling the program to allow it. There are programs that allow this; I use Avast! antivirus and Outpost firewall, among other things. Works for me; as always, YMMV.	[reply]
