mcafee virus protection will not work on vista

I will say though that they are not the only tech support to do that. I'm not sure what McAfee's tech support was attempting but I do know that they have a tendency to try things that aren't necessary sometimes (from personal experience talking to them). If you're using McAfee Security Center then you should see on the first page a section that says Securit圜enter Information and below that it says Subscription Information along with the date that it expires. If that's the case and you haven't renewed the subscription then you've found the culprit because it's been over 15 months. This is the 15-month sub that I ordered with the Dimension.' It seems to be working OK now I'm wondering, after reading about the need to have version 8.5. 'I find the version of Mcafee that I downloaded from the Mcafee-Dell page after reinstalling Vista a few days ago is version 7.2. :smileyhappy: Is this the same computer that you posted the following about on 4/1/07? All that I know is that McAfee is not updating properly to record the fact that I have used it to carry out a full scan. But anyway, why am I being asked to do a DOS virus scan to try to fix my problem? Does this mean Vista no longer works properly with McAfee virus scan? The technician gave no explanation whatsoever. I am too busy to do this for the next few hours as I have an article to finish. Is there some newish issue with Vista and McAfee? I tried getting technical help via the McAfee website, but it was pretty useless, and first technician got me to download a patch which did not fix, while the second sent a document via e-mail saying I should perform a DOS virus scan in Windows Vista.

The scan was completed, I was told five items were found but they are not critical and no actoin was suggested. Yet I did a full scan today, and yesterday, manually.

When I open, there is a message saying my computer is not protected, and that I have not scanned it with McAfee for more than 30 days. I have had Vista on my Dell desktop for more than 18 months now, since buying the Dell, and have been using McAfee also got via Dell with no problems, until in the past few days I keep getting a yellow circle with exclamation mark in it over the McAfee icon in the tray at the bottom of the screen.
