I laughed like mad when I read that earlier today. We have som customers that uses the ePO-server and mcafee av-client.



We didn't laugh. Not at all.

You would have thought that the fix would have included a patch to put automatically put back all files that had been incorrectly quarantined, but considering how badly they screwed up the DAT files maybe that's not such a good idea.

Fortunately the error only occurred in the "on demand" scan and not the "on access" check, and (in our case) the files were quarantined and not deleted. In the end of our ~2000 desktops only ~20 were damaged.

This sort of school-boy error should have been picked up with even the most basic of QA processes.
