McAfee to compensate home users for bad update

McAfee is promising to reimburse home customers hit by last
Wednesday's faulty virus update, which hosed tens of thousands of computers.

Facing complaints and questions from people whose PCs crashed or kept rebooting as a result of the buggy update, McAfee formally apologized
in an official blog last Friday.

But now the company has gone a step further.
McAfee is committing to reimburse home and home office customers forany money they spent to fix their PCs as a result of the problem.

Details are sketchy now, but the company is hoping people will sit tight for a few more days until more information is available.

"If you have already incurred costs to repair your PC as a result of this issue, we're committed to reimbursing reasonable expenses,"
promised McAfee in a special announcement for home and home office users. "

Steps to process your reimbursement request will be posted in

the next few days. Please check back here in a few days."And for loyal customers whose PCs were impacted but plan to stick with
McAfee, the company has promised to extend their antivirus subscriptions for another two years free of charge.

McAfee, in my opinion, takes up too much of the Windows resource pool.
