McAfee Virus Definitions May Crash Your Box - UPDATE
2 Comments
UPDATE - According to an article on ZDNet, Network Associates has confirmed that the latest virus definitions, updated to maintain computer security against virus attacks, may cause certain computers to crash on boot. The problem stems from incompatabilities between the scanning engine and the virus update file. The only solution currently is to boot into safe mode and disable VirusScan system scan at startup. Read the rest of the article at ZDNet if you are interested. Thanks to Fred Krauth for the heads up in telling us the new SuperDAT updates will fix the problem with scan engine 4.0.70.
