It seems like each time I get a Firefox update (the latest being 5.0), it disables the virus protection software. I'm currently using McAfee SiteAdvisor and Rapport, which program would you suggest using with Firefox for virus protection?
I'm using a Mac OSX platform for my computer system. Is there any reason why McAfee SiteAdvisor and Rapport virus protection software programs are not compatible with Firefox updates? What virus protection software is Mozilla suggesting to use with Firefox?

Download the latest version of Trusteer Rapport from here:

The McAfee Site Advisor is blocklisted in Firefox 5 due it being the #2 cause of crashes. McAfee is developing a new add-on, which is due to be ready in late July. See the McAfee forum for more information.

Try this add-on to replace the Site Advisor:

The Firefox 5.0 update did not disable or affect your separate antivirus software as it is just the McAfee toolbar extension not being compatible with Firefox 5.0 and it is blocklisted for being a #2 top crasher anyways until McAfee fixes it. McAfee has already had a month to work on it.
