You guys still using McAfee? Really? 

Anyway, keep us up to date. I haven't any reports of this happening yet.

Hi all, we've been experiencing problems today across all our sites
(worldwide) with printers spooling out reams of paper with random ASCII
characters all over them, reminiscent of the Bugbear virus from about 10
years ago. 

It's not just us, there's lots of Internet traffic about this, it's
happening everywhere. See https://community.mcafee.com/thread/45989?start=0
for more details.

Importantly as ever, keep your anti-virus up to date and active.


Jon
