Title: McAfee Antivirus Update
Post by: kirangampala on 19. July 2009., 05:51:06

Hi,

Do I need to manually update my McAfee Antivirus? If I do not login my PC for 2-3 weeks my antivirus says it is not upto-date. Once I connect to internet, won't it get updated automatically??

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Kiran.

Kirangampala,
Please check the auto update option on your McAfee and see if you can set it auto update after 1 minute of login. It should work with no issues.

It depends on your McAfee's Configuration;
My computer is automatically turned on at 6:00PM and the updated is set to initiate at 7:00PM.
and it works, it works fine for me...

- For Manual Update just make a right click on McAfee icon (near the clock) and click on Update Now...

- For Automatic Update also make a right click on McAfee icon, chose: VirusScan Console / AutoUpdate / Properties / Shedule / Enable... and configure as you wish.  ;)

Hope this will help you?

Regards,

Anti-virus software must/should be updated every day.  Doing that manually is easy to forget.

Set your auto-update to update daily (e.g. at 7:00 in the morning, or a few minutes after login). Everything else is unsafe!

i guess the problem is caused by proxy setting.

the proxy setting is configured in user profile rather than local machine. So, the antivirus engine cannot access internet after logout

McAfee seems to be one of the more popular choices. I hear good things about it.
