Running EQ2Map Under Vista

[mattbell69]

When I start EQ2Map under Vista I get this message:

Sounds like something is blocking the updater from connecting to the Internet. Windows firewall?

[Mahonri]

Yeah, I doubt it's a Vista issue. I've been running it on Vista for a while now without any problems.

[Vanyari]

Yes, that's a firewall blocking the connection. I get the same message when I try to use it from my laptop while at work. *cough* *whistles innocently*

Right, based on your suggestions I did some investigating. It's McAfee AntiVirus 8.5

I removed this and it's working again. I have AVG Fee Edition in it place. I guess I need to work out what the McAfee software is doing.

It probably sees the autoupdater as a possible malicious software and blocks it... ET tries to phone home, but McCrappy says No way, Jose.

And yes, I don't care for McAffe
