CA Antivirus Trashing Windows System Files

What is with all these antivirus programs targeting Windows files lately? Awhile back it was Norton, earlier this week it was McAfee, today it is CA…this seems to be a trend.

This problems seems to have started yesterday and some users who called up tech support were told that a fix would be forthcoming. A fix was released but for some this just seemed to bring more misery. If you are affected then try updating the malware signatures and then un-quarantining the files and see if that works for you. What makes it doubly frustrating for users is that there's been no official word from CA about this issue.

It must be their plan to get a 100% success rate when clearing out malware by clearing out everything
