hi,
You need to know where the Engine folder is.
it's the folder where you will find
the DAT files such as SCAN.DAT.
then you should disable the Mcafee scanner,
Download the ZIP file,
Then extract the DAT files to the Engine folder and then re-enable the McAfee scanner.

The DAT folder is in the same VirusScan folder as the Engine folder - - McAfee\VirusScan\DAT\ ###DAT
I am able to click on the properties of the DAT itself and see the date the DAT was last updated - - around the time my not so DH admits opening a birthday e-greeting he believed came from his mother. Duh!
So, just to be clear, do I put the new DAT files in the DAT folder itself or in the Engine folder?
Do I have to delete the old DAT files currently contained in the DAT folder or does that resolve itself when I re-enable the McAfee scanner?
Again, many thanks@
