This error message recently started popping up periodically on web pages that seem to have graphics or photos. There have been recent Adobe updates, but I can't verify which ones and whether they are the issue. On the other hand a recent Firefox update 7.0.1 indicated it was incompatible with a number of plug-ins? Could that be the source. Incidentally after I receive the message: it comes on twice, I am returned to a previous screen without further problem.

Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions for "McAfee Site Advisor".

(Windows): For best results you should uninstall McAfee Site Advisor from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.
