And the emergency patch instituted last night apparently forgot to account for a re-auto-update feature in McAfee or something similar.

The MCIT systems are back to square one. At least I managed to safe-boot one of the machines and disable the auto-update function yesterday...

McAfee should be testing the patches before they release them into the wild.

Doesn't mean the local admins shouldn't also test before distributing, but the primary failure here is on the software provider. Flinx's med center is only one of many, many organizations dealing with this blunder.
