The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Plus 4.0
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q191633 SYMPTOMS
If you are running Windows 98, McAfee WebScanX may not be able to block
access to servers or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. You may notice this
issue if you are watching the Status window's Internet filter. Although
programs are detected, scanned, and counted (if this option is enabled),
no Internet sites may be counted or displayed in the Last Item window.
This behavior may occur with all Web browsers in Windows 98 if you are
using WebScanX 3.1.2.
CAUSE
WebScanX 3.1.2 is not compatible with changes made to the Winsock.dll file
in Windows 98.
RESOLUTION
Upgrade WebScanX to version 3.1.6 or later. To do this, use either of the
following methods:
- Contact McAfee to receive an update disk. North American customers can
contact McAfee Customer Care at 408-988-3832. International customers
can contact McAfee Customer Care Amsterdam at +31 (0) 20 586 6100.
- Download the upgrade from the following McAfee Web site:
Use your Internet Explorer Plus 4.0 product ID for the password.
No login ID is necessary.
Customers who install WebScanX from the Internet Explorer Plus 4.0 CD-ROM
will be required by McAfee to provide a validation code to receive the
update. The validation code is the product ID located in the Help About
section of Internet Explorer Plus 4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is not caused by a problem
in Windows 98, but may be caused by design changes in Windows 98. For
more information about resolving this issue, contact the program's
manufacturer.
