    I got a new laptop today, so I installed mcafee site advisor first. Unfotunately, when I was intalling kaspersky, it said that Mcafee is not comptible with kaspersky. I uninstalled site advisor, but the problem still exsists. I LOOKED everywhere for mcafee site advisor, but I cannot find a trace of the program anywhere. I uninstalled it, but kaspersky 2009 does not work; I have version 7 onmy laptop, the one from amazon.com What do i do?

    So site advisor does not work with KAV/KIS 2009? Or ver.7? I'm using KIS ver.7 and site advisor with FF3 and KIS did not have any trouble during the installation.

    Try reinstalling Kaspersky then SiteAdvisor. If that doesn't work, just ditch SiteAdvisor. I'm sure Kaspersky will keep you safe enough.

    If he's having the same problem I am the situation is Kaspersky isn't installed because it detects SiteAdvisor, and when he goes through add/remove programs, there's no listing, nor is there a listing in the extensions window in firefox, nor is there an uninstaller program in the c:\program files\siteadvisor folder in order to remove siteadvisor for the installation of Kaspersky.

    Is there maybe something left in the registry by SiteAdvisor which is 'seen' by Kaspersky?
    Maybe a cleaning run with CCleaner can help?
    Cheers.
