Uh-oh, my personal enemy is 4m6ly

Uh-oh, my personal enemy is unleashed. Wink

I did not check since about a year - and I am not going to again - but the last time I used this, I had to start a system wide reconstruction of deleted "threat" files. All of them were false positives and deleted without question. Maybe McAfee has changed the way it works but if not, I would use this extremely carefully. Blum

According to the McAfee Stinger web page, the action to fix or report on detection is configurable in the preferences. Is always better to check on the defaults before executing something new.

Probably really not appropriate to add my knock against McAfee, but maybe someone might be spared grief by being cautious with this app.

in the app store it shows it a4936

Reget? wl2z

John, not sure what's causing it, but I seem to be getting a reget error every time i try to DL this through the platform.

MD5's match, and it s and installs without issue via browser, so it's not an issue for me per se, but maybe for others.

my setup:

Win7x64, Home Wifi network, no proxies, MSSE in the background, successful via Chrome Portable. SF mirror: iWeb

If there's anything else you might need that could help, let me know.

I'm getting a error 1k1b6u

Constant updates 546r2w

If I can correctly from my old version of this, McAfee releases an update every month or something (I forget, but it's a short time) and the file release name doesn't change but the MD5 sum check will spit out that error at every update until the portable package is updated.

Also, did you ever find out more info on the licensing? I'm still curious about that.

Still can't install 2d335p

Even today (13 December) I'm still getting the "The ed copy of McAfee Stinger Portable... is not valid and can not be installed."

I have not had a problem with ing any other apps from the site.

Please advise?

Works for me 5i6e6l

I have received the same error message heretofore. I just successfully ed and installed the application. Perhaps my location will help with any diagnostic work that may head your way. I am currently in Hightstown, NJ.

EDIT: Just experienced the same error updating Stinger.

"The ed copy of McAfee Stinger Portable (http://center.mcafee.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger/stinger.exe) is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete."

I updated the VLC player successfully while trying to update this application.

New Version 2q4624

As mentioned, when there is a new release, the current installer will fail until it is updated, meaning there is a window of a couple hours where it won't install. This does not need to be reported again. We are automatically notified of new releases.
