>I'll keep this quick, because strictly speaking this isn't really a

>effected by this.
>
>The latest NAI VirusScan DAT update 4.0.102, released Wednesday, causes
>VirusScan to take 100% cpu time if still using scan engine 4.002. This
>effects Windows 95, 98, NT4 (Workstation and Server) and 2000
>(Professional and the various Server editions). In fact, the slowdown is
>so severer it takes around 10 minutes to log into a high spec machine that
>is effected.
>
>NAI yesterday released DAT file 4.0.103, which fixes this issue. This is
>available for download from:
>
>http://www.mcafeeb2b.com/naicommon/download/dats/mcafee_4x.asp
>
> >From the new readme.txt file:
>
>"* NOTICE: This DAT update file is being produced
> to address the lockup issue experienced by customers
> running the 4002 engine in conjunction with the
> 4102 DAT files."
>
>I know many companies use automatic DAT updates, so this will no doubt
>cause problems for many people :(
