McAfee Anti-Virus: I'm Helping!

Speaking of liability issues, McAfee released an AV update that started misidentifying good programs as viruses. Some people still haven't recovered.

Not that I think that software companies should be required to provide bug-free code (because that's impossible), but I do think companies should be held liable for major screw-ups like this. Certain types of basic utilities like this should be held to a measurable standard for software quality.
