When I open Livesafe, in the listed devices on the left, there's an error (red exclamation) for the computer listed that I'm actually using. I click on that device and it says "we haven't connected with your device in more than a week" which is incorrect. Everything is up to date. Even did a manual 'check for updates' ... :Nothing new - everything is up to date" I would think if i click check for updates, that Livesafe would have to 'connect with my device' at that moment. Anyways I've seen this error for around 3 months. Even tried removing and reinstalling ... same thing. There is another thread about this however the person describes having the same issue i am, the 'resolution showing' (which explains what happens when you want to remove Livesafe completely) has an explanation that has nothing to do with the issue the person is describing. I don't want to remove Livesafe, I just want the error 'displayed' issue to resolve since it is false. Why would your software show i have a connection error when its obviously connecting because everything is up to date.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I contacted chat support and they did a screen-share and fixed the issue with their McAfee 'repair tool' download I believe (took about an hour). On other devices, yes, that one computer also showed the red error ... We did do a windows update also as well as removed McAfee and removed reinstalled ... etc. and something with the repair tool and all good now. Support was great. Thanks
