I don't but my cousin called me and said he keeps getting this warning pop up from mcafee telling him his Adobe Acrobat .exe file is evil and should be stopped.

I've never used it, but for those of you who do , is there a way to tell mcafee to allow the program to run like you can in zonealarm?

That doesn't help them much. :)

OK...tell him to get different AV/firewall software.

I have a hard time believing that McAfee doesn't have a "Rules" tab on the firewall interface.

I took a quick look, and I saw no link on the interface page, nothing obvious anyway.

I thought perhaps someone here might be using it and could save me the research time.

Inexperienced newbies are afraid of the new, and besides he just paid for the program (dummy), so I'll catch him when the subscription runs out and reprogram him.
