I hope any of our readers haven't updated Norton Antivirus on a Windows XP machine in the last few days. On May 17th the Norton database was upgraded and by noon millions of users’ PCs were crashing. Norton’s latest update accidentally tagged two essential system files as viruses and cleared them away.
This prompted the 'Blue screen of death' followed by an error message regardless of rebooting the PC. Symantec has acknowledged that the upgrade was mishandled and that they’re working on a solution to better monitor such upgrades.Symantec has acknowledged that the upgrade was mishandled and that they’re working on a solution to better monitor such upgrades.
In other words, somebody is gonna get fired!!!
