Just saw this article in today's news concerning McAfee Definition file 5958
and the havoc it is creating with WinXP SP3 worldwide. It may not affect
Foxboro WP/AW boxes at all as my latest WP purchased 1 ½ years ago has SP2, not
SP3. Someone from Fox may want to follow through on this to let us know if any
of the latest Foxboro WP/AWs are shipped with SP3.

This bad antivirus definition file is not posted on the Foxboro CSC Antivirus
Web Page, but some customers may download directly from the McAfee site. This
is a good reason not to (latest isn't greatest). Foxboro does not test these AV
updates (at least there is a disclaimer to this effect), but does delay passing
them on to their customers. Yeah Foxboro!
I'm sure this has been removed from the McAfee site also, but some customers
may have delayed deployment in place.
