And even more grateful if they can also explain:</p> <p>How to prevent the browser taking control of FDM;</p> <p>How to run <em>McAfee SiteAdvisor (connection issue since installing Sandboxie,)</em> inside a sandboxed browser.</p> <p>I'm so annoyed that I missed both yesterday's game and other software and can't seem to get either today, while I futzed around with trying to understand where the heck the zip files went.</p> <p>Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated, thank you!<br /> ~ Swan </p>
