WHY IS MCAFEE MESSING UP MY COMPUTER?

Question by Wanttoknow:
Why is McAfee messing up my computer?
I used to love McAfee. I have talked to AT&T/McAfee. They can’t fix my problem believe me. I have spent hours talkin to these techs. and they can’t fix the problem. I have tried uninstalling that is another nightmare. I do not pay for this because I have the AT&T service. But, I am ready to go to Norton. Any suggestions. Because of this I can’t open anything up. On a few of my game sites it state go to enable Java Script, which I have done and checked several times. It is enabled but still can’t open them. Even something like Safeway I can’t open. WHY? HELP

Do you want the comments posted on the website? If so, you’ll need to be running a LAMP stack or something similar.
You need to ask yourself some questions:
1. Does the person need to be logged in to post comment?
2. Do I need to confirm that it’s a person and not a computer attack trying to take up computer resources?
3. Will I display the info on the website for other to view, or is this something that I can e-mail to my own e-mail for viewing?(you need to be concerned with sql injection here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection)
… furthermore you’ll need to understand pagination if you want the post viewable by others.
4. Do I need a log of all transactions?

Once you know what you want send me an e-mail and I’ll send you some code.

The way to do this would be to store the user comments in a database like MySQL. So the first thing you should do is create the database with the appropriate tables and fields. If you want to be able to tell what user posted the comment, then you will also need a user longin/management system (that you will also use PHP to create).
To enter data into a database you would do something like:
$con = mysql_connect(“localhost”, “username”, “password”);
if (!$con)
{
die(‘Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db(“database”, $con);
$sql = “INSERT INTO tblUsers VALUES ($_POST['FirstName'], $_POST['LastName'])”;
mysql_close($con);
Of course that example is just a very simple one with no security involved or anything.
Then, you would pull data out of the database as necessary to display it to the user:
$UserComment = $sql = “SELECT usComment FROM tblUsers WHERE usFirstName=’$FName’ AND usLastName=’$LName’ LIMIT 1″;
$result = mysql_result(mysql_query($sql, $con), 0);
And then your HTML could look something like this:
However, I would recommend that you pull as much data from the database as necessary into a $_SESSION global variable at the time of user login.
Understand that what I did here was nothing close to the actual amount of work that you will have to put into this. There are many other security problems that you will have to account for and much more. I was just trying to point you in the right direction as to what you need to be researching.

In order to do what you want, you need three things: [1] A server environment supporting php,[2] an HTML form, and [3] a php file (or script) that processes the form.
[1] Most should do this but you may need to check
[2] The HTML source file should contain a form and that form should contain named variables and point to the php file that will process the data. As an example, consider the following:

McAfee sucks ass. Our family computer had McAfee on it & someone clicked onto a virus ridden site, & our computer was taken over by a trojan immediately. Go Norton. If you don’t want to, I would then suggest Webroot Internet Security. You are just wasting time becoming frustrated with a Security Program that doesn’t even work.

Mcafee may be the cause of your problems it may not be. Some times with Security programs, there are conflicts. Those can be hard to find. There are many reasons for this. But mostly it’s because of the way that computer is set up. It doesn’t mean Mcafee is a bad program, it’s just one of those things. I would suggest you uninstall Mcafee and see if it’s the problem. If so, just try something else. But don’t buy another one. Norton, Kaspersky, Eset Smart Security all offer free trials. So try before you buy. Also if you decide not to use Mcafee, you should get the mcafee unistall tool from mcafee. This will clean out Mcafee from your system and your new software will have a better chance of working.
