CORRUPT CONTENT ALERT
The content this replaces was found to be corrupt.
Cause of corruption: Invalid character set or encoding.
Ticket Number: <ticket number>
See your system administrator for further information.

Upgrade to Service Pack 1 and this will fix the problem

We had two different sites that were experiencing this problem and the procedure you have to go through to release a quarantined message isn’t fun!

Full details in McAfee article 53009

I’ve been critical of McAfee support in this past but it appears as their knowledgebase as undergone a revamp as it’s helped me out quite a lot recently
