HAHA.

QuoteLast Friday an error in McAfee's virus definition file caused the company's consumer and enterprise antivirus products to flag Microsoft's Excel, as well as other applications on users' PCs, as a virus called W95/CTX.

How in the hell can an office application possibly be unsafe? If anything the malicious user would already need access to your computer and if he has that I doubt he will waste time trying to screw up your office..

Either back up your dumb claims or quit posting stupid ish.

It was for the best that Norton protected us from the AOL users.

McAfee made a very similar blunder (http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2006Jan/gee20060315035304.htm) this week, deleting some Windows system files :)

Stop getting mad at things that are clearly jokes.  If it really bothers you, take it to another thread or to PMs.

Ironic. Maybe when he stops chronicly posting idiotic things I'll lighten up.
