Then I searched and thankfully found your post! As soon as I read it was a McAfee bug I remembered that crucial email! Pasted below is a subset of the entire email, with the relevant portion for those of us who can only access the internet after -rebootingįrom: Use this procedure for McAfee Virtual Technician (MVT) to detect and repair the issue. But I couldn't ping the router and couldn't get to the internet. I had network access my router was giving me an IP and my gateway was my router.
Tonight I started troubleshooting and couldn't figure it out. My desktop hadn't connected to the internetįor a couple of days. Thanks for posting this! And get this.just yesterday I received an email (from my working laptop) from McAfee titled "Service Notification: Important Update for your PC". I check the Dell Support and they also had this solution. Run Autofix and update the Def file and your done.
OK I found the answer! It is a McAfee bug.
