Re: McAfee false-positive glitch fells PCs worldwide

From today's McAfee forums:
»forums.mcafeehelp.com/showthread···1&page=3

We have had it confirmed by McAfee support that this problem is due to the old engine and that the only solution is to upgrade. There will be no further assitance in doing this (or fixing the issue) provided by McAfee.

It only affects VSE8.0i with Engine 5100.

VSE8.0i with 5200 Engine or above seems to work properly.

VSE8.5i and 8.7i are not affected.

...this is a false positive due to engine 5100 obsolescence.
5100 is not supported anymore since January 2008, it is very likely that this engine is not able to interpret correctly the latest DATs (5664 in this case).
