It could only effect that few if the policies were set up update infrequently (ever few days or so). My policies are set to check for updates and push them frequently, so I got bitten. I have less than 100 desktops but am a 1 person shop. 4 hours of sneaker net repairs and corporate downtime. Thanks McAfee. There was at least 1 hospital in the area that had to resort to turning non-critical patients away. Don't these things get testing before release? These products are a necessary evil... they don't need to be more evil than the purpose they are attempting to provide.
