McAfee Firewall uses an API (Application Programming Interface) that is not 
supported by versions of Winsock prior to v2.0. McAfee Firewall checks for 
the presence of Winsock 2 during the installation procedure and will inform 
you if the system does not have it. If you have the latest browser (e.g., Internet 
Explorer 6), this component is already built-in and you will not receive this 
prompt. Otherwise, you can get a free upgrade and is available from 
http://www.microsoft.com as well as other Web sites.
