Hey,

Any body here?!

1. sdat****.exe is the updated virus definitions and scan engine file .

2. Manual update: http://www.networkassociates.com/uk/downlo...tes/default.asp and follow IceBlackIce's instructions for Mcafee 8,9,10 or just double click for McAfee Version 7

For automatic updates you should have registered with whatever info was requested when you first installed the program and make sure activex is enabled in IE and check your subscription info here

Otherwise try the Mcafee forums at

FYI: microsft auto update/website has nothing to do with mcafee automatic updates.

But they do update in the same fashion. They both use a central location and executables that get updated. Maybe that's why he was comparing it to Windoz auto updates.
