My Mcafee VirusScan and Security Center is not updating. I've been trying
since Friday night. In addition, I cannot access us.mcafee.com. I believe
the updates for the VirusScan is also on that server. I can access every
other website so I don't think it's anything on my end. Anyone else
experiencing problems?

I have been having the same problem since Friday Dec. 4 and the McAfee
support Forum is logging many similar complaints. Earlier today they
appear to have acknowledged the complaint and claimed it would be
corrected within 24 hours.

Could you pls reply with a link to the support forum. Earlier today, I had
one of their tech support morons claim that they had no problems with their
web site. Further, he claimed that my brand new Dell (unpacked Fri eve) may
have had a virus which prevented it from contacting only us.mcafee.com. Of
course, all other web sites were fine.

I've always heard that they were a 2nd rate product. Personally, even
though I'm not crazy about Symantec, I never got this kind of BS from them.

Thanks

It seems to be working fine now. On the topic of automatic updating, when
does the new 4400 engine going to be installed. I've still only got the
4320 engine. Manually downloading the engine is useless because that only
works for versions 5-7.
