    I've just discovered the answer to the question posed in this thread. McAfee has two separate programs installed, so I've kept McAfee Web advisor and uninstalled the main one. On restart, WD automatically launched its firewall. I've been to a foreign sports streaming site where I know there are links to unsafe sites and McAfee is flagging these up as normal. So, am I OK security-wise, considering I won't have Chrome?

    I think you've put the wrong URL there as it just leads to t.gifMcAfee Consumer Support.
    I don't have Chrome on my machine due to the amount of data that it steals.
    No mention of that , just windows and mcpr tool
