I've seen this a couple of times. What I do is RE-download the files and reinstall them. Preferably, I'd use the version other than the one you just used. For example, if you installed just the signature files, download the SuperDAT and install that. If you installed the SuperDAT, download and install just the signature files. That should take care of it.

Cannot uninstall McAfee as it is part of our standard company platform. Thank you anyways.
