No configuration changes to my computer in several months, no system restores. Very stable system except for this.
I have automatic Windows update on, but in troubleshooting I already tried a manual update and my McAfee updates are working fine. (I'm running VirusScan DAT Version 5579 now, dated 4/9/2009)
And yes I've tried rebooting
The problem first occurred on March 31, then Apr 2 (3 times), Apr 3, Apr 4, Apr 5, Apr 6 and Apr 9. Never before Mar 31.
Question: Why would McAfee scan it's own virus definition files? Why can't I exempt that file?
I'm not particularly impressed with this product, it's fat and slow and a pain when I need to tell it to back off for a while. I'll soldier on for another week or so and then switch back to Symantec or maybe try Forefront.
