Background:
My subscription to McAfee just expired, and Rogers it providing AV via Yahoo
(via Trend Micro, I believe) So, McAfee has been uninstalled, machine
rebooted.
Now, I install via the Rogers link, which installs an ActiveX for browser
install. I keep the rest of the Yahoo package off my machine -- no Anti
Spyware (since I'm using this one), no Parental Control, no Yahoo Browser,
Side-bar, Y Messenger or other clutter.
Experience:
During install, MSAS pops up 4-7 toast in rapid succession. All over top of
each other. I can't see the 1st one any more, and must accept them in FILO
(stack) order. I hope that accepting one is not a prerequisite for another.
I think you might need a different interface. Maybe a tabbed interface, or
a growing 'toast' so I can see and select in order? Stacking toast would be
too high.
Lastly, The Green Checkmark toast -- Change has been allowed.
Name: Dashboard Module
File path: c:\program files\Yahoo\blah\yop.exe
On the bottom, "Click here for more information about this..."
So, hoping to see a history of the bunch of warning, or at least some info,
I click. A popup window "MS AntiSpyware Help" blank with a Close.
Since I've never clicked on that item before, it may be typical for this
beta to not have information there. The installation experience was
alarming in that I couldn't keep up with the warnings.
Cheers.
