Anti-virus firm McAfee is reimburse people who have spent money getting their computers fixed after they were damaged by last week's security update.....

.....Customers are asked to call a local, toll-free number to talk to a technician. If they are unable to fix the problem then a software fix can be downloaded to another machine. If this is not possible McAfee will send a CD.

If you have already spent money on fixing your machine then McAfee said it was "committed to reimbursing reasonable expenses".
