Problem with update

LMHH

I've had a probem for a while now with F-secure, and have not been able to figure out how to solve it. Several times a day F-secure interrupts whatever I am working on with a message saying that there is a new version of F-secure that I need to install. However, when I attempt to install it, I simply get a message saying that it can't find the necessary data, and installation failed. I have no idea what could be wrong. My license is valid until sometime in november, so that can't be the problem.

 

My computer is a mac, with OS X 10.8.4

I have the exact same problem and have had for weeks now. Very, very annoying!

Could any F-Secure, Product Expert respond on this please. It start to get really irritating!

Hello LMHH & MrLino,

 

In order to investigate your issue, could you please open a support ticket and provide an fsdiag.

 

To create and send an fsdiag file for Anti-virus for MAC:

Log in as admin user, open Finder, select "Applications", go to "F-Secure" folder, click "Support tool". In the Terminal window that opens, click enter. Type password if asked.

The tool starts gathering the information. Once the gathering of information is complete, the output file appears on your desktop. Attach the fsdiag.tar.gz file to your support request.

 

 

Thank you

MrLino

I followed the steps and got this:

Am I suppose to do something more?

Hi Ben,

 

I followed the steps proposed by a e-mail from E-secure.. and so far that's about it.

The below is the result and now I don't know what to do? The problem remains!

Roger

Hello MrLino,

 

I understand you already proceed to open a support ticket and provide the output file that appeared on your desktop?

Could you send me by PM the Sr-ID of the case you opened for follow up?

 

Thank you for your reply.

Hello LMHH & MrLino,

 

Have you received a solution to your issue, or is this still occuring?  In case anyone else in the Community is having the same trouble, would you mind sharing how the updating problem was solved?

 

Thanks!

Hello,

i have exactly the same problem. i don´t know what to do. If I chose to log in to administration mode, the message doesn´t appear, but when I log in to my user account the message comes up. Very annoying. Nothing wrong with my subscription.

Hello,

 

Could you please try upgrading Anti-Virus for Mac manually?

 

Just visit our download page, scroll down and get the latest Anti-Virus for Mac installer.

 

No need to uninstall the current version, just run the installation after downloading the package.

 

Best regards,
Stephan
