I'm so thankful that I'm not a McAfee admin anymore! This dat fiasco is making techs around the globe burn the midnight oil. Here's a clip from a USA Today article:

McAfee advised the company that "remediation time is estimated to be 30 minutes per user, " says Solera CEO Shillingford.

Adobe Patches via WSUS
This note just came in from a patching list that I subscribe to:
"In a follow-up to a live chat he was in, Adobe's Brad Arkin revealed yesterday that they are working with Microsoft to integrate their updates into SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), SCUP (System Center Updates Publisher), and WSUS (Windows Software Update Services). The work should be done by the end of the year."
That would be huge news for those of us that don't currently have a robust configuration management system.
