This is nasty.  It’s putting the svchost.exe in quarantine and causing the
system to bomb.  When the system comes back up the taskbar is missing, no
network connectivity, half the services aren’t running and can’t be started.
You can’t even do a system restore point.

 

Right now we’ve removed the latest DAT, un-quarantined the file,
un-installed McCrappy, and go back to a restore point and that seems to be
working.  We’re trying to find a way to streamline it.

I’ve only heard through the grapevine, colleagues supporting clients other
than mine had to leave a conference call due to DAT issues with 5958, I
don’t know if it was shutdowns or reboots, and/or different for servers and
EUCs … which is why I asked.

My clients are just starting to update, a handful already have it, no
complaints yet.  What are you seeing?
