Re: Apparently McAfee stepped on their genitals today...

Any large website that logs User-Agent strings should be able to figure out how many systems were affected by this. The 
systems were disabled for essentially the entire day. By looking at the dip in "Windows NT 5.1" systems compared to 
other systems, a large website should be able to track how many systems were disabled.

We have received several reports indicating some issues with McAfee
DAT 5958 causing Windows XP SP3 clients to be locked out. It is
affecting svchost.exe. Here is an example of the message:

The file C:WINDOWSsystem32svchost.exe contains the W32/Wecorl.a Virus.
Undetermined clean error, OAS denied access and continued. Detected
using Scan engine version 5400.1158 DAT version 5958.0000.
