9Antivirus

To ensure that your anti-virus software can protect your system or network against the latest virus threats, download and install
the latest .DAT files.

The DAT files are compatible with our anti-virus products (McAfee) that use the version 4.3.20 (or later) virus-scanning engine. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of the virus-scanning engine for optimal virus detection and cleaning.

We store new DAT files on our web site in several compressed formats to reduce transmission time:

- Compressed DAT Package. This file contains the DAT files, compressed in a ZIP or tar file. You can extract and install them yourself to update most of our anti-virus software. The file has a name of the format DAT-4316.ZIP or DAT-4316.tar, where 4316 is the four-digit DAT version number such as 4321.

- DAT Package Installer, or “XDAT file”. This file includes the DAT files plus an executable that installs them. The file has a name of the format 4316XDAT.EXE, where 4316 is the four-digit DAT version number such as 4321.

- SuperDAT Package Installer, or “SDAT file”. This file includes the DAT files plus an executable that installs them. It may also include a new virus-scanning engine and other program components. The file has a name of the format SDAT4316.EXE, where 4316 is the four-digit DAT version number such as 4321
