Question I purchased and installed Mccafe anti-virus through CD. The updates are failing because Mccafe is not identifying my internet connection. My internet is through a LAN connection wired to a router. The 'manage network' section shows the line between my router and internet as 'disconnected'. But i have no problems using my internet otherwise. only Mccafe is not able to detect the connection. Please help to resolve this issue.
Answer If your McAfee is genuine, I would suggest you take a screenshot of the error message windows (Press the Alt key + PrintScreen button together - and save the image in MS-Paint as Screenshot.bmp).
You can mail the screenshot to McAfee and they could pin-point the problem. I have not used McAfee myself, so cannot give you more precise assistance.
You can also look at the forums of McAfee. I'm sure you can find somebody has encountered a similar problem.
