I'm having the same problem...again. It was happening back in June and then stopped for awhile. It started again this week.
I am running version 9.3, build 9.3.162, DAT version 5695, and my subscription doesn't expire until October 2010. I've kept everything up-to-date on a daily basis (automatically).
The "You are not protected" message pops up intermittently, no rhyme or reason to it. I know that McAfee is aware of the situation and is working on a "fix," but I've been hearing that since at least June.
This is unacceptable for a security suite/AV program and I'd like to hear something directly from McAfee. I appreciate the time and trouble from Ex_Brit, but this is a McAfee problem and a McAfee rep should acknowledge the problem directly. More important, instead of working on an the 2010 beta, how about getting the 2009 version to run correctly! Waiting for the 2010 version is not a fix and if that's what McAfee expects us to do, I won't be around long enough to get the 2010 version.
Either a proper and permanent fix---fast---or I'm outta here (demanding a refund for my unused subscription due to McAfee's negligence) and I'll try Norton, which reportedly is much improved for 2009.
Someone from McAfee? Anyone out there? Anyone at McAfee care that their reputation is taking a big hit for this? :mad:
