McAfee has many problems but never face anything like this. Is it some program update instead of signature update? Are you logged in as Administrator?

^^ Exactly what i said.

Quickheal is a crap in my opinion. We've it in our office. And it doesn't detect a single virus. Whereas housecall or malwarebytes catches many.

 

[Skud]

I think we rather call it "Quick Heel"

Mcafee Security Center

Does it got validity left out means do you have the account active ?

Check in the McAfee Login page -> Account -> Subscription status.

AFAIK, McAfee has closed serving security centre from last one year. Not sure, but looking for it. I will update, once i get some proof.

+1. And one of the best anti-virus I've ever used.

I disagree.

I have been using Quick Heal for last 2 years in my laptop. And it actually performs quite well. It detects 90% of viruses and kills them.
Maybe it isnt very effective in a PC which is already infected

Whereas housecall or malwarebytes catches many.

Housecall is a Online AV so it is bound to catch many AV. Its a great online AV tool.
Whereas, Malware-bytes has always been my favourite to clean virus infected PC's

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Yup..!! I use KIS @ Home. But on office we have Quick Heal, they installed it just after installing Win XP on this lappy. But it's totally infected, and quick heal doesn't even catch one.

Tried with malwarebytes and it caught many.

 

[SlashDK]

^^ I know. I installed quickheal on my laptop after reformatting but it still couldn't detect viruses. The only reason quickheal sells is because the local engineer etc. guys get commission for selling quickheal. Just look at how much they advertise - magazines, radio etc. etc. for useless software. I've used avast as well and I will take avast any day instead of quickheal even if I get it for free.

 

[coderunknown]

avast/avira >>> net protector & quick heal.

Yup,it shows that my product is valid for 415 days more.I got the disk with my Dell XPS L502x which I've purchased just a month ago.

You probably havent used it extensively enough that you are commenting like this.

I have noticed it is uneffective in virus infected. In clean pc with a good ammount of ram it works fine.
For virus infected pc's Malwarebytes and Housecall are things to use.

Yeah. Corrected it. Thanks buddy.
