I don't think this is the case. The DAT files are compiled into binary
format and if anyone tried to diddle with them the worst you would get as a
customer is a DAT file that wouldn't install correctly, if at all. I have
asked this question to McAfee before with regards to the WebShield for Nokia
product running McAfee's WebShield software. That was there answer from
the engineering folks that handle the DAT files.
