Hello,
I am using McAfee total protection, but i can not update it ...
Using Windows 7 clean install.
Problem is connecting to mcafee.com or dutch site from it.
In the explorer, total protection and McAfee Virtual Technician same results, see screenshots.
Other sites from mcafee are no problem, like this here.
Can you advise me what to do?
Regards, Danny
Try
I just did a system restore to the day before all this started and everything seems to be fine. I managed to update Mcafee and hopefully everything will be fine. Thanx a lot.
or
Perform these steps on the machine... then restart the computer once done
if that not the issue You can try a uninstall reinstall via
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507
reboot and install from your account.
I assume you never had another Antivirus on this PC? If so did you use its removal tool before installing Mcafee that can mess things up sometimes.
Have you tried resetting IE to defaults. Clear the cache as well
If above no chop best to run MVT (in tech support link above -in useful links tab) and then call tech support it is now free.

The problem was a not correct host file in c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
I have adjusted the content and now it works like a charm
Now that is a new 1 . Do you have a copy of the old host file? Ie what site was added?
Actually do you know what added the site? Could you have an infection?
Unless you on a private network where DNS is not used, the host file should have no active entries simply because DNS takes care of all name <-> ip resolutions. I smuggest you check if you have been infected in some way.
