Is BrowserDefender OK to run with FF? Noticed it is a big resource hound ;( Would like to uninstall ?

I have it installed but noticed it is quite a resource hog when viewing in task manager. Its website implies it runs on IE and I only use FF.

I am running McAfee already so don't want to slow my pc down any more than I have to.

Is there a better FF plug-in to use instead?

Thanks TDK
