Yeah mario me and my friend Karin figured out that you can still create compressed folders and transfer files that way. We were able to back up her whole system. Still... a moot point.

McAfee has the fix on their website and they aren't broadcasting that update anymore. (so they say). What a bunch of BS this whole thing was though.

I had this issue. Went to ITSS in upson to get it fixed, and they had a patch that brought everything back to life.

If anybody needs the patch, I have it (would post it but the board won't let me upload an executable file).

How about you execute the file first, and then post it...maybe it will work  :mystery:

You may have been able to use a linux live cd to help copy files back on, but it's a moot point by now.  Sorry you had to go through that.

Well, what we found in the morning/noon would simply get rid of the symptoms but it wasn't quite fixing the problem. Unless they came up with something better now. SP3 bricked my comp. My START bar was gone, and I could not copy any files into or from my comp. I still didn't updated my virus def on my desktop (I'm waiting till they get rid off that bad update).

Too bad... there's a really simple fix for it now. All of the data is totally recoverable too... well... if you hadn't wiped it. McAfee released a statement saying it only affected like a tenth of a percent of their total network... which is bullcrap. They also said the effects were mild. Which is true unless you were running XP SP3... in which case it bricked ur computer.

Idiots.

I think it is worldwide. It happened to all of our computers in engineering a well. I had to wipe my computer- I recovered all the data, but not software. I'm still rebuilding my laptop right now.

The question is... does und alter the mcafee updates when they receive them? Are these updates only going out through UND or is mcafee about to brick millions of computers worldwide?

Update... it appears that the crappy mcafee that they force us to use is actually updating itself with a corrupt file. It would only be an issue if you're using UND's mcafee software.
