Re: Internet Browsing Issue
Following a recent Windows update, we are aware of an issue with McAfee security software which is preventing customers from browsing. In order to resolve this issue please temporarily un-install this programme and restart your device. Once restarted, please go to http://home.mcafee.com for further instructions
so if you're affected, how do you see the message?

Didn't you get issued with your crystal ball when you joined Sky?so if you're affected, how do you see the message?
Seems Sky are blaming Windows for a McAffee blunder.

No, all I got was a free Sky Box Office movie when I joined Sky Originally Posted by Isitme Didn't you get issued with your crystal ball when you joined Sky? 
No mention of any crystal ball. Should I get in touch with the CEO to complain that they didn't send me one?
Or should I just threaten to go to VM/BT Vision/TalkTalk Youview (delete as applicable)?
