PC-Cillin Anit-Virus Bug

[Steve530]

If anyone is using the PC-Cillin anti-virus program from Trend Micro, be aware that one of their updates released yesterday has a bug that binds the CPU. The computer grinds to a halt, as if it has been infected with a virus.



I spent 16 hours looking for a virus on 2 computers before reading this story: http://asia.news.yahoo.com/050423/kyodo/d89kvan80.html.

I have auto update Steve and everything seems normal today:nixweiss

Yea, you just had to be un-lucky enough to have used the computer when the first update was downloaded. And then restarted before the second update was downloaded. Timing is everything.
