McAfee Retracts Lowball Bug Damage Estimate
bennyboy64 writes "McAfee has changed its official response [warning: interstitial] on how many enterprise customers were affected by a bug that caused havoc on computers globally. It originally stated the bug affected 'less than half of 1 per cent' of enterprise customers. Now McAfee's blog states it was a 'small percentage' of enterprise customers. ZDNet is running a poll and opinion piece on whether McAfee should compensate customers. ZDNet notes a supermarket giant in Australia that had to close down its stores as they were affected by the bug, causing a loss of thousands of dollars."
Maybe it was a "reminder" so we don't get complacent about license renewal?
"Gee, that's a nice operating system ya got there..."
Symantec is so much better.
I, too, not run Avast Home. Me switch to MS Security Essentials.
Maybe Australia only has one big grocery store somewhere in the Outback. Kinda of like what we have in Canada except it's a giant igloo in northern Toronto.
McAfee or being part of a botnet?
That it was in Australia?
Fear is the mind killer.
wtf is AV doing on a POS computer?
This setup also seems somewhat redundant, since McAfee's AV itself is a POS.
"ZDNet is running a poll and opinion piece on whether McAfee should compensate customers."
Poll? Opinion piece??? This is fucking America. Spare me the nonsense, show me the lawyers.
The plural of virus is viruses. Also, there's no reason to capitalize administrators here.
I know, I should proof-read more often.
Oh well, we all make mistakes - some larger than others (McAfee).

We temporarily lost 15 pcs yet company productivity went up. Less pron so they might as well work,eh? I've got no problem if McAfee would reissue that botched update now and then...
who the
fuck taught you to
type? your
line spacing is the
strangest thing i've ever seen and
your reluctance to use punctuation and the
shift key (except for one comma that
snuck through) boggles the
mind
