A patch available Monday via standalone update still leaves QuickBooks vulnerable, if you run the software near a wireless hotspot. The patch had disabled the automatic update system, but it is reactivated when in range with a hotspot. Intuit states that they are working to resolve the issue and will have a patch available in the next few days. Users are urged not to run the program while within range of a wireless access point.

Computerworld is reporting a class action lawsuit:

Three businesses that lost data during the update snafu have filed a lawsuit against Intuit and have asked a federal judge to grant the case class-action status. The firms — Create-A-Card Inc. in New York, AGSJ Inc. in California and Philanthropic Focus LLC in Florida — charged Intuit with reacting slowly to news from users of the buggy update and said that they each had lost irreplaceable data.
