McCoy is a XULRunner application (which BTW should run on SuiteRunner as 
well) enables you to update your software in a more secure way, but the 
initial installation stays as is, and thus unprotected.  In other words 
we're not able to offer the same level of security (this compared with 
a.m.o).

Note that you can disable the checks, or make this feature fully 
incapable of doing anything (see my comment in the original bug report).
