Always requires me to verify subscription

[Freya]

I have total protection and it says I must verify my subscription for my firewall. I click verify subscription, it says my subscription is verified, but the message is still there and the firewall doesn't activate. Oddly enough, my antivirus portion works fine and updates without this message.

This started happening after I installed vista sp2. What's the easiest way to fix this?

Hi,
Check the computer date &time,
Try running Mcafee Virtual Technician from the following link : mvt.mcafee.com & post me the session id.

I have McAfee Virusscan Plus 2009 3-user.  I have this exact same problem.   It tells me "your computer is not protected."  When I double-click on the McAfee icon it opens to internet and network and tells me my subscription to McAfee firewall needs to be verified.  I click on the link and in a few seconds a widows pops up saying your subscription has been verified.  I click ok and the popup closes but the Security Center window continues to insist I have a problem.  The tray icon has an X on it.

I ran Virtual Technician.  My session ID is 21691457.  It says it fixed the problem - a duplicate registry entry.  However the problem is NOT fixed.  I find it extremely annoying.

Please advise how to fix this.

Hi Kenindenver,
I reviewed your session id,
Could you Navigate to the location  C:/Documents & settings/mcafee/msc  & let me know whether you have the file Mcsubdb.dat ?

Hi,

Please provide some additional information like;

What is the type of operating system ?
what type of internet connection we use ?

Run the tool in my previous post and check the same.

Regards,
