[Macpartners] To those who's MacAfee Security fails to update spewing tons of text into console...

[Andrew Munchbach]

Hi Bill--

I have not noticed this behavior with McAfee, but I'm interested to know if the specified hotfix has any affect on the issue.  

You can download HF727444 from here:

https://downloads.mit.edu/released/mcafee/HF727444.dmg [certificates required]

and test.
