I haven't been able to find a definitive answer online as to whether McAfee
Security Center is compatible with IE8. Any knowledge on that part?
Also, assuming I reinstall IE8, in my testing phase, does it matter if I
start with add-ons enabled, and then eliminate them one by one if a problem
arises? Or is it necessary to start with NO add-ons enabled, and then enable
them one by one to see if a problem arises?
Your continuing help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
