Re: update problems

Try a manual update

http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security-updates/security-updates.aspx?region=us

Use the method described for the 6772xdat.exe  update do not use the superdat method. I assume your date and PC time is correct and you have not installed another scanner?

Try running MVT the virtual Technician doe sthat fix it?

It is available on the tech support page link in useful links tab above.

Re: update problems

Ya i tried that but used the superdat one. However it say "Error: Product already running latest engine", so i check again and the dat version is 6772. And the problem is gone so thanks anyway.

Re: update problems

Run MVT and see if that helps. You may need to reboot and rerun it.
