The Last and Next Update times are only approximate and indicate not when an update will occur but when the software will next look for one.  There may not be one available so it will poll for one again at a later time.

If you were behind in updates SecurityCenter would have a red warning.

Can you open SecurityCenter please and tell me the details in 'About" (bottom right of the main page) for SecurityCenter and for VirusScan?

I have the latest McAfee installed in XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and all work perfectly, so there must be something unusual causing your difficulties.

I was going to ask if you had attempted a reinstall, but now you have and everything is good.  Glad you are OK now.

Your profile mentions Total Protection Service which is not a home product - are you sure we are talking about the same product.

Can you post a screenshot of it and/or the details from "About".
