I have no beef with McAfee just saw this on MSNBC.

Personally I am very satisfied with NIS 2010..although conceivably it
could happen to any AV vendor..but hey wait..don't they do a simple
test run first to validate an update they send all over the world?

The article speculates that hundreds of thousands of computers were
put in a endless reboot cycle from this bad update.

As the importance of timely updates increases (narrowing the zero-day
window), the risk of FP havoc increases (Q what?).
