... in this very moment, it seems that latest McAfee DAT file is corrupt and trying to quarantine system files of Windows XP boxes. We are currently being hit in Rome, Paris, and New York. Has anybody heard of this?

My gf netbook has been hit as well. I am going crazy to bypass mcAfee and uninstall it, but it is preventing system services to start at boot, and safe mode is proving uncapable to uninistall it. I am still working on this but was hoping somebody here had any info on this.
