Unable to connect and update virus and spyware definitions

Asked Apr 7, 2011, 06:45 PM — 1 Answer
Using the newest version of System Mechanic Pro, the updates stopped as of Feb 22, 2011 on my friends computer. No other problems and scan did not detect any viruses. If this is only the third computer I have put this on what is up? The title show the exact wording of the security error.

You may need to add an exception to your firewall to allow for connection to the update servers.
