I just installed IE7 beta and attempted to up-date my Virus scanning
software (McAfee v9) with no luck. McAfee tech suggested I revert back to
IE6.

You are asking an IE7 beta 2 question, for better support see the IE general
group. More info:

Take a look at number 8



1.. This Build only installs on Windows XP SP2 - builds for x64 and Server 2003 will come later.
2.. Windows Genuine Advantage Validation is an integral part of the IE7 Beta 2 Preview installation. If your copy of Windows is not genuine you will not be able to install the Beta.
3.. Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview is build 5296. The leaked build from a couple of weeks ago is Build 5299. I recommend you get rid of 5299 and install 5296 - even though the build number is lower, it is actually more stable (See Tony Chor's explanation about the difference in build numbers here - http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/comments/520812.aspx)
4.. If you previously used Sean Alexander's registry script to add a slew of Search Providers, all the entries created by the script will be broken. This is because the Wildcard has been changed from %s to {SearchTerms}. You'll need to edit the original registry file to replace %s with {SearchTerms} then remerge the file, or edit the registry manually.
5.. Installation errors referencing msfeeds.dll should be fixed by following the instructions in this newsgroup post:

6.. IE7 Beta 2 Preview may cause issues for people who use Outlook Web Access - see my previous Blog post:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2006/01/31/82198.aspx
7.. You may not be able to view Windows Live Messenger Beta chat history - this is a known bug - we know what is causing it, but don't know when a fix will be available.
8.. McAfee Security Centre may be broken - displays a blank screen.
9.. History may be broken - previous day's folders may not open (if they appear at all).
