Since the new beta version was updated on my system (last
week), my McAfee Virusscan (provided by my school) will
not update. I get a common framework error 80080005@ 2.

Has anyone run into this? It's driving me crazy!

Bob,

I am running Nortons Systems Works 2005 & since I updated
over the last couple of weeks, my Liveupdate (virus def.s
& other product updates are not running.) I am unable to
connect to the Symantec Update server at all.

This will be a similar problem I believe. The only turn
around is to fully uninstall both Nortons & Microsoft
Antispyware & then reinstall ONLY the antivirus product.

Hope this helps. Both very good programs but I need
antivirus software more then anti spyware.

Cheers

Tony
 
Bob,

I have found the problem. The host file under
c:\\windows\system32\drivers\etc had its attributes
changed to read only. Right click on this file & deselect
this option & try to update your virus definitions.

Cheers

Tony
