    Default Mcafee Failure

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8636985.stm

    Thousands of PCs around the world have been paralysed by a security update that wrongly labelled part of Windows as a virus.


    Now of course there are 2 sides to this. Some people will say they messed up by recognizing windows as a virus, while some people will come in here and say that Mcafee messed up by not recognizing the whole of windows as a virus.

    Just thought this was funny news.
