Using the Client Software
Error messages
Update failed.
There are several reasons that updates might fail.
• Check your connection to the network server or Internet.
• When using the Windows fast user switching feature, automatic updates cannot occur
when no user is logged on if the computer is a domain controller or local security policies
prevent the creation of a pseudo user.
• Automatic updates cannot occur on computers that are behind an authenticating proxy
server or on computers where a CHAP or NTML proxy is set up in Internet Explorer.
• Automatic updates cannot occur where no user is logged on to computers that receive
updates through a relay server.
• Updates might fail if the Temp folder does not exist on the client computer. If you delete
the folder inadvertently, restart the computer to re-create the folder automatically, or
manually create a Temp folder in the Program Files\McAfee\Managed VirusScan folder.
