USING THE DAT PACKAGE INSTALLER (XDAT FILE) & LIST OF VIRUS DEFINITION FILES

USING THE DAT PACKAGE INSTALLER (XDAT FILE)

1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk.

2. Download the XDAT file to the temporary directory from our website. For the location, see the "Contacting McAfee"
section in this readme.

3. Double-click the XDAT file to start the update.

4. Follow the instructions in the wizard panels.

The installer then does the following:

- Unloads McAfee memory-resident software or stops services that use your current DAT files.

- Copies new DAT files to the appropriate program directories.

- Restarts the software components needed to continue scans with your new DAT files.

5. When the installer has finished updating your DAT files, you may delete the file you downloaded, unless you want to keep a copy available for further updates.

LIST OF VIRUS DEFINITION FILES

The virus definition files (or DAT files) included in the packages are:



AVVSCAN.DAT Data file for virus scanning

AVVNAMES.DAT Data file for virus names

AVVCLEAN.DAT Data file for virus cleaning
