Good Morning--

McAfee has released a hotfix for its Security Suite 1.1 for Mac product to address a potential conflict with Apple's FileVault encryption system. The conflict, which affects machines running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard), can cause systems to become unresponsive after a user logs in.
