Problem with McAfee Security Center
A few days ago, I noticed my McAfee icon change. Here's what it looks like:

When I hover over that, it says my computer is not fully protected. So then when I go into the Security Center, it looks like this:

I click fix, and it says it cannot be fixed because of one or more problems. I am fully updated and my license isn't expired, so that's not the problem. I tried restarting my computer and that seemed to work at first but then the icon changed again. After a few times restarting, I noticed it changes at random times. Like it could be an hour or a few hours. When I went into view recent events, it says that real-time protection was disabled several times. However, I did not do that myself. I though it may have been a virus or something, but I keep a clean computer and ran another virus scan, nothing showed up. Any tips on what this could be?

Dear Bestkidever,
Welcome to TSG

Did you try a reinstall of your mcafee product?

I've gotten a similar thing before, when all of sudden several things are disabled. Have you tried the McAfee virtual technician to see if it could repair anything?

Yes, try the McAfee Virtual Technician and if you're still out of luck, you can chat with a live technician online.
