Checkout Issues Related to McAfee WebAdvisor Bug

McAfee WebAdvisor has a known bug that has caused issues across thousands of websites over the last 30-60 days. If you are using McAfee software, you may experience the following problems after clicking the “Place Order” button on Waytek’s “Checkout – Review & Submit” page (see image below):

  1. You get a spinning wheel that doesn’t go away. 
  2. You click Place Order and nothing happens at all. 

This is an issue with the McAfee WebAdvisor Software installed on your computer or your web browser. Here is a link to the McAfee Community Support Page where communication of this issue has taken place. https://forums.mcafee.com/t5/WebAdvisor/Bug-in-WebAdvisor/m-p/731580#M27252
