WHAT ARE DAT FILES?

Virus definition, or DAT, files contain
up-to-date virus signatures and other
information that our anti-virus products use to
protect your computer against thousands of
computer viruses and other potentially harmful
software in circulation. Hundreds of new
threats appear each month. Every week, we
release new DAT files. We also release new DAT
files when any threat is assessed by AVERT to
have a medium or higher risk.

To ensure that your anti-virus software can
protect your system or network against the
latest threats, you must download and install
the latest DAT files. For their location, see
“CONTACTING MCAFEE SECURITY & NETWORK
ASSOCIATES”.

WHAT IS THE SUPERDAT PACKAGE INSTALLER?

New and complex viruses can sometimes require
an upgrade to the virus-scanning engine in your
anti-virus software in order to respond
properly to infections. Often, this required a
complete product release. However, with the
SuperDAT Package Installer, we provide you with
a complete application that installs the
virus-scanning engine and DAT files that your
anti-virus software uses to detect and clean
virus-infected files.

The SuperDAT Package Installer minimizes the
need for complex software deployments each time
you receive upgrade components. It takes care
of shutting down any active anti-virus scans,
services, or other memory-resident software
components that might interfere with your
updates. The installer then copies the new
files to their proper locations and enables
your anti-virus software to use them
immediately.

The file includes the DAT files plus a program
that installs them. It might 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.
