The past year or more our machines have shipped with al 3 SP's from Microsoft since we do not know which I/A will be implemented. User chooses which SP before loading I/A. Our GCS .dat file webpage ...was updated early yesterday morning with info about the bad dat file.. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jack.Easley@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2010 1:21 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] McAfee Antivirus Definition Update 5958 Killing WinXP SP3 Computers 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. Article Link: http://www.pcworld.com/article/194776/mcafee_error_little_relief_in_sight.html 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.
