Hi,
Last week, LiveSafe must have updated for me given the change in the UI. However, when I rebooted the system, I noticed the McAfee icon was missing from the system tray. I tried launching McAfee from the Start menu and even from the main directory and I couldn't get it to launch. Everything was working fine before the reboot. So I decided to do a clean install. But now I am back on a previous version (16.0 R51). I've tried updating with "Update app" but it says I am already up to date. So first of all, what is the most current version of Live Safe? And second, how do I update to that?
Windows 10 Home 22H2
19045.3031
Latest is r109. It initially had task bat icon missing but has been fixed so I gather. Reinstalling gives r51 it will update in due course. See what the mods say
So it's been a few days, but no update. There really no way to force it to the current version?
So McAfee did eventually update a few days after my last post, but I still have a lingering problem:
A few months ago, I finally updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Ever since, I have been unable to run a full scan in a reasonable amount of time. I have ~1.1M files on a mechanical drive, but before a full scan would take a few hours. I would just let it run overnight. Now, even after 8 hours it's only about half done. I contacted support when this first happened, and he suggest a complete uninstall/reinstall to no avail. I've tried again after the newest version became available. I was hoping the update to the latest version would fix things, but it hasn't. Any suggestions?
