mcafee 6 causes conflict with Norton & lose internet

R

rlr

For months I've been trying to figure out what was going
on with my system. I think it initially started with a
bug, but in fixing it ( by eventually reinstalling
everything) I found that norton system works and norton
antivirus work fine and my system works fine -- until i
load mcafee internet security 6. Then I get a "symantec
email proxy" error on startup and it disconnects my
internet connection. The page cannot be displayed. Under
properties it cannot be repaired because it cannot resolve
the ip. I usually also get a dns problem. When I
uninstall mcafee, it all works great. Why? What is
mcafee blocking?

I have xp sp1, ie6, 2.8 HTT Dell 8300.
Again, it is fine with norton system works and norton
antivirus (both 2004). The problem is with mcafee
internet security

I know you are wondering why I want both loaded. I don't
anymore. I hate mcafee right now. I had wanted to use
their email spam program. Now I'm thinking about opening
a website called www.mcafeesucks.com.

rlr,

Norton's AntiSpam package is really good, at least if you
buy another Symantec product you know it should be
compatible.

This sounds like an issue for McAfree support, did you
give them an e-mail explaining the issue?
