Bad Agent on encrypted disk

Thanks for the ideas. It turns out the IT team was able to fix the
problem.  For a while, it wasn't clear they could, and there were a
lot of people affected. I was exploring options. 

It turns out this was not a fault of the IT team. One of the agents,
which has been in place for months, downloaded a cryptographically
signed update rule file (which by the way was not changed). 

What could go wrong? Well, for some reason not yet understood, the
update rule file (which was not changed) got corrupted, and was
downloaded, and validated, and installed. And the agent blue
screened, nearly simultaneously on everyone's computer.

Curious.
