McAfee

Today we were flooded with McAfee issues at work. Somehow, this week the package in the system for the workstation agent, 3.6.608, got changed inside the server console to 4.0.608. The 4.0 package was available in Evaluation, but should not have changed the existing version. This caused multiple sub-issues (removing vscan from workstations, partially disabling the ePO on workstations...) This looks to have started Tuesday evening.

Then, today, the McAfee product that runs on our Exchange servers started quarantining all attachments. This wasn't as hard to resolve, since it seems to have been the result of an ExtraDAT we had to install this morning for another issue.
