My McAfee Personal Firewall has Install Shield Update
Services agent listed as Blocked. Install Shield Download
Manager and Service Scheduler are not blocked. After doing
some research, seems like maybe I should allow it access
as looks like Microsoft uses it for Windows updates.
?Should I unblock it?
Have WinMe, IE6.0, McAfee Personal Firewall and VirusScan
online, Earthlink. Total Access 2004, no viruses found on
scan, Windows updates up-to-date.
Forgive me if I should have posted this in another
newsgroup, but wasn't sure where it should go!

MS does not use the InstallShield program for update - it uses its own
installer.
InstallShield is however used by a lot of other companies -

So should I allow it access?
Kathy

It's your choice - but I'd probably allow it.

<re: InstallShield AutoUpdate>
Is InstallShield a system resident package?

The times I remember using it, they were in self-installers which
shouldn't require a web update check. I'd be more tempted to Uninstall
it unless a specific program subscription uses it.

Rick

The Update Services add-on is resident - it trawls the system looking for
relevant updating apps that IS installed, and then checks for updates. (At
least, that's how I read it the other day)
