   BR>* An ongoing debate between Ed Vance and BEN RITCHEY rages on ...

   BR>{chuckle} yes, they can be!   
      
   Ben,   
      
   The latest in the Adventures of Ed Vance and his computers is:   
      
   On Nov 15th everytime I started Firefox I got a pop up saying it   
   was something about a "Buying?" feature of SiteAdvisor, so I sent   
   a email to McAfee with a screenshot of the pop up.   
      
   I got a reply that they wanted me to either use their website to   
   chat with a Tech or call the Tech on the telephone.   
      
   I'm going to call them when I can get a ROUNDTUIT.   
      
   The pop up appeared each time I opened Firefox for several days   
   and then quit showing up a day or two ago.   
      
   But I've noticed that since the 15th whenever I do a search on   
   ask.com the result list have the WOT colored rating but not the   
   SiteAdvisor rating.   
      
   I've found a work around by clicking on the SiteAdvisor area that   
   was colored Grey, and usually after doing that the colors in SA   
   start working until I minimize FF and open it up again and have   
   to go through the whole routine again....   
      
   This morning I clicked to the right of the SiteAdvisor area and   
   looked at the Options... and saw a Tab for "Safe Shopping   
   Rewards" so I UNchecked the box for "Show Safe Shopping Rewards"   
   and clicked on Save. Maybe that will cure the pop ups problem.   
   ??   
      
   I Agree With You, "yes, they can be!"
