Has anyone else been hit by a recent bug in automatic updates to McAfee antivirus software? My desktop computer is denied access to the net because of an update McAfee installed last week. The glitch caused this problem, apparently, to computers using Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. I'm here courtesy of my iPad. They. Publish a fix but I can't get it to work. Anyone see got this problem?

Originally posted by StartreaderI use Norton Security Suite because my ISP offers it for free. I haven't had any problems with it so far.
