Missing a Few Computer Files Since Friday?
It’s been reported that McAfee had an ‘Oh God’ moment on Friday and released an anti-virus update into the wild that wasn’t quite right.
The update had a problem in the DAT file that caused it to incorrectly identify thousands of files as infected when they weren’t. Anyone who had McAfee set to delete infected files lost out big time.
One Systems Administrator for a major company reported that they lost thousands of files from dozens of servers and around 2000 user machines.
Oops.
