Been having this problem on my Imacs since early yesterday, as it was occuring on both, I had a suspicion it was a issue downloading it. It wasnt helped by the fact I had a router problem yesterday too. 

Spoke to Support agent in chat, but didnt have any "idea" as to how long it would be till it was fixed, but I am getting the problem on my Catalina and High Sierra iMac.

 

Is there a way to download definitions and apply them manually (i.e. browse to fille) or are we dependent on the auto-update or Updates button?

The automatic update normally works without any issues in this regard. However, our McAfee engineers are working on this issue now. We will keep you posted with updates once we get further info on this. We are kindly requesting you to update us if you receive the same error on automatic updates as well.
