Well, if you haven't already read about it in another topic I started, Macfee GAVE ME the fucking Nimda worm... I found and corrected several effects of the virus and actually stopped it from spreading to other files myself, and then serached the web for a fix. Mcafee's webpage had nothing, but Norton had a write up on it about the exact effects that I had fixed, so I borrow a copied of Norton, cleaned the system, then ran Macfee's update, and norton warned me about the virus being downloaded from macfee's website... imagine that. I gotta email those idiots about it. It cost me a whole fucking day to repair my system from this shit, and I will probably have to reinstall everything to ensure it's gone. I had all security patches installed to prevent this virus from installing itself, and I'm not a moron to clicks and runs attachments - the one place I NEVER scan files for viruses - mcafee - is the place I got it from. I was actually updated it to be sure that my system would catch it, IF it I were to come across it. Ironic, is it?
