Hello. I downloaded McAfee internet security 2010 from facebook subscription on January 2010 but it seems to be internet security 2009!! If I understand corectly, at the end of January is available for Europe, 2010 version for this product. The question is if upgrade to 2010 version will be automatically next days (or weeks??) or I need to remove from my computer the 2009 version of this software. Recently I noticed that Site advisor of McAfee that I have instaled on my compute was upgraded ( I refer at interface), and in Security Center apears ”last update 20.01.2010) The rest of component are update al 13.01.2010. Thanks
It will come in as a major update involving a reboot sometime soon. Theoretically it should uninstall all the old stuff automatically in the process of upgrading.
I USUALLY GET A VIRUS DEFINITION UPDATE AND NEW DAT VERSION DAILY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS ( EXCEPT FOR THE MCAFEE SERVER PROBLEM 2 WEEKS AGO ) TODAY I CHECKED AND IT SAID MY PROGRAMS ARE UP TO DATE,BUT I'M SHOWING YESTERDAYS UPDATE ONLY AT PRESENT TIME- 2/2/2010 5880.000 -DAT VERSION DAT CREATION DATE 2/2/2010, ENGINE VERSION 5301.4018. I'M JUST WONDERING IF MCAFEE IS SKIPPING A UPDATE OR IF THE MCINSUPD HAS GOTTEN CORRUPTED OR SOMETHING. ANY FEEDBACK WOULD CERTAINLY BE APPRECIATED.

The DATs are available as of 2245 GMT and you should update if you try again.
Mine only just updated in the last minute or so. Updates take a while to reach all areas of the world. Now 5881.

p.s. i'm not familiar with the Gmt time as one member wrote to me telling me the dats were available today at 2245 Gmt. i'm on Est time . perhaps i should study marine -us coast guard gmt time since thats more or less one of my big hobbies lol
p.p.s.-please say a prayer for me as i accidently got myself into some rather serious legal trouble up here in portland,maine usa . i'm trying to dig myself out of another legal jackpot. i hate when these happen; especially by accident and not on purpose.
