New on Slashdot and elsewhere about the latest McAfee's virus definitions wiping out a bunch of applications include Office, and according to the Slashdot post - ColdFusion.

I dug around a bit and found this list of affected files and indeed several Java related files are mentioned so it's possible this might trash ColdFusion. More at Sans.org.

I upgraded to McAfee Internet Security 8.0 recently. The upgrade installation hung on in the install of their Spam Killer program. This sent my computer into a reboot loop.
Tried Safe Mode and several scans using the installed McAfee. No Virus were found.
The ONLY way I was able to end the reboot loop was to uninstall all McAfee software. Their support recommended that I try installing one solution at a time so I chose VirusScan first. It again sent me into the reboot loop.
