Default [Reg] McAfee update kills comps.
Quote:
IT admins across the globe are letting out a collective groan after servers and PCs running McAfee VirusScan were brought down when the anti-virus program attacked their core system files. In some cases, this caused the machines to display the dreaded blue screen of death.
This makes me trust that they can catch the new virii that come out everyday. /sarcasm

Well, it's the ultimate defense after all.

IT "admins" that run McAfee should be fired anyway.
