The downside of McAfee updates is that it takes an EXTREME event for them to budge from weekly updates of the release version of the dat file, which means the built-in auto update is slow to react in these situations.
You either need to manually get the extra.dat file from their web site, or the daily dat. The daily dat update can be automated via script. I don't know of an easily automated, reliable source for a current extra.dat. Does anyone else?. Jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan C.

Their SecureCast tells me that at 4183 I am up-to-date, but My*Party is still passing through. Could someone tell where they hide these buggers before the web pages get updated? Thanks.
