McAfee IS a big oops...
The erroneous flags even apply to updaterui.exe, McAfee's own update program.
At least it got that right

Eekss ... I always thought Symantec was slightly on top of the game as compared to McAfee.

I believe they should re-staff their personnel, so that errors like that dont happen

LOL!!!
My son was reading this with me. He's 17 and very responsible when it comes to security. He learned the hard way by visiting blacklisted sights and not updating his own security programs. I once made him navigate through all the registry keys to remove entries from a trojan he infected MY system with several years ago.
He says: "Gee Dad, is this why we don't use Norton or McAfee?"
