Fwd: ATTN: McAfee DAT 4715 problem - deleting .exe files

[Mark Wilson <wilsodm () AUBURN EDU>]

We have just uncovered a problem with McAfee DAT 4715. Apparently, when
a system is scanned, .exe files are deleted.  It appears to be 3rd party
software and no O/S files, but we are not certain. Servers and Desktops
may be affected.

It is advisable that you check your systems ASAP for DAT 4715 and
update to DAT 4716 IMMEDIATELY.  If systems have already been scanned
with 4715, there could be .exe files deleted.

This is all we know at the moment.
