Apparently, the besieged, [URL="http://www.mcafee.com"]McAfee[/URL] antivirus-protected world saw little relief in the past 24 hours with McAfee engineers still scrambling to come forth with an answer.

According to Symantec it would seem that security flaw + patch in 5 days = result. Certainly compared to the average 140 days it takes Microsoft to patch a vulnerability it’s to be applauded, but only with one hand. 5 days is 119 hours and 55 minutes too long in …
