McAfee to Pick Up Repair Bills for Nuked XP SP3 Systems After Bad Update

Posted: 26 Apr 2010 10:18 PM PDT

Last week we posted about a buggy update that McAfee released that deleted a critical system file which caused computers to shut down.

McAfee recently sent out a press release saying that they will pick up the repair bill for the machines effected:

    For impacted home or home office customers who have incurred costs to repair PCs as a result of the security update issue, McAfee will reimburse reasonable expenses, such as a visit to a local tech support specialist. Details of this program, including steps to submit a reimbursement request, will be posted on the McAfee Web site within a few days, so please check back.

    Additionally, because we value our loyal customers, home or home office users whose PCs were rendered inoperable or severely impaired as a result of the security update will receive a free two-year extension of their current McAfee subscription product at no charge.

If you or your clients were effected by this, here are the steps you can take to get the machine back up and running:

    Step 1 – Locate a local toll free support number for your country. A qualified technician is standing by to diagnose your computer's current status and determine the fastest way to get you up and running again.

    Step 2 – If the technician can't get your system up and running over the phone, we'll get you the software to get your system up and running again. We can get you the software in one of two methods. You can either download the software fix from a working PC, or we will express deliver a CD to you.
