Bug in McAfee patch causes system failures
A bug in patch 1 for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise v8.7i caused serious problems according to several user reports. On updated PCs, the scanner "discovered" a worm (W32/Generic.worm.aa) in several Windows XP and Vista system files and deleted or moved them. The result was that the PCs hung up or booted repeatedly when restarted.
In order to avoid further damage, McAfee initially removed the patch from its service portal and download pages. Users who had already installed patch 1 in their environments, but haven't noticed any problem yet are being advised by McAfee not to uninstall it. The DAT files that McAfee has been distributing since the 7th of June are promised to prevent the false alarm and so eliminate the problems.
