Trying to update you Mcafee VirusScan Enterprise ver 8.XX you get the following error:
“failed to initialize common updater subsystem. make sure the mcafee framework service is running. Mcafee common framework error fffff95b@2 ffffff95b@ 2″
I struggled with this one for while. Tried a lot of things i got from Google but nothing. The following virus and Trojans were detected on the computer:
PWS-WOW, W32/Yahlove, Generic!atr and W32/Autorun(Virus)
Well i found a solution that has worked every time.
This is how i did it.
1. Uninstall McAfee Antivirus program from your computer. You can use the Add Remove programs tool in the conrol Panel.
2. Navigate to the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\application data\McAfee
Delete the folder: Common Framework
3. Reinstall Mcafee Viruscan and and update you virus definitions.
Reinstalling without removing the common framework folder will not remove the problem.
Hope someone will find this helpful.
