Tasslehoff Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) 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 7For 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 herehttp://uk.mcafee.com/root/Login.aspOtherwise try the Mcafee forums athttp://forums.mcafeehelp.com/index.phpFYI: microsft auto update/website has nothing to do with mcafee automatic updates.

rhythmnsmoke Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
