Hello again,
 The McAfee I have is part of a package provided through my employer. It's supposed to update every day pretty much. When the yellow shield shows up on the icon in my task bar, I click on it and select update.The yellow shield goes away and the place where it says the last update has the current DATE. When I click on "about", I get this window that will show the virus definitions date and it never changes! It's stuck at 5-9-2008 which is the install date. It also has a "DAT" date of 6-9-08
I'm not having PROBLEMS with my machine, but I want to know if it's updating or not.
  Thanks,
  JimAre you running a firewall on that machine ? ?
Is McAffee listed in the trusted sites list ? ? I'm only using the windows firewall. I don't know about a trusted sites list on that.
 OS is xp pro

 I just looked and there is a list. McAffee FRAMEWORK Services is listed in exceptions. there is a column for GROUP policy, it says no. I see this has been read 56 times. Does anyone use McAfee? And do you check your updates?  Do your Dat dates and Virus definition dates Stay current?
