Anyone have had the same issue with Scanning stopped on a Mac operating Mojave?

Is there a solution to this issue?

Thank you in advance.

LKS this is not a solution. 

There is no way for anyone to know what is a common problem. Please delete your post and let the community decide if this is a common problem and you could be more helpful as you work for the company if there is a solution to the problem. I pay for this software, it's not free.

Thank you and post something a bit more positive.

Thank you.

Hi @JoaoValle

Was wondering if you ever got a response about this problem. Mine just started doing it.

I have the same problem (Scanning Stopped. No Response From Scanners) using McAfee LiveSafe version 4.10.1.0 on Mac OS version 11.2.  The scan runs fine on my MacBook Pro using the same version of McAfee LiveSafe and the same Mac OS version, but, I get this problem on my 2020 27" iMac.

I searched the support community but don't see a solution for this.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

[kimo77]

My issue is resolved.  I just installed a "new version" of McAfee LiveSafe.  The version number is still 4.10.1.0 but the number in parenthesis after that is different.  I downloaded McAfee just to see if there was a new version, and when I ran the installer, it said it needed to uninstall an older version.  After the uninstall completed, the installer installed the new version, and I can run scans successfully now.

Very annoying.  This is the umpteenth time this has happened on several MAC versions.  Reinstalling repeatedly is getting to be ridiculous.  Is McAfee snake oil?

[Millerf1]

Have had this problem on multiple MAC operating systems.  If this continues I will not renew.

I have had to repeatedly reinstall McAfee.  The scanners do hundreds of thousands of files then stop for some reason.  McAfee also fails for no apparent reason sometimes.
