How does one update a virus scanner through a wireless connection?
I have recently purchased a laptop. It has the McAfee virus scanner installed, though don’t know how to update it. I have successfully established a connection(wireless) between my home pc and the laptop. I have tried to update the scanner by opening “VirusScan” Console, then opening th”AutoUpdate”te task and finally clicking the Update Now button. As the update progresses all the “checks” fail (“Error occurred”) and eventually it is confirmed that “The Update failed” in the “Last result” column, “VirusScan Console” window. Can anyone help me solve my problem?

Best answer:

My entire network is wireless and there is no problem updating McAfee on the one desktop and AVG on another desktop and laptop.

Make sure your firewall is allowing the antivirus program through to update.
