The check plugin mcafee_av_client, which monitors the signature date of McAfee AV clients on Windows hosts, crashed with ValueError (time data u'search:' does not match format '%Y/%m/%d') on some systems.

The reason for this was that the corresponding agent plugin (mcafee_av_client.bat) delivered wrong data on these systems. For this fix to apply, you have to update the agent on affected hosts.
