New viruses are found every
day, and sometimes there are
several hundred viruses
detected in a month.
Get into the habit of updating
your DAT files regularly and
always do so if you see a
warning about dangerous
new viruses.
To make sure your virus protection is up to date, you should
regularly update VirusScan. Following this procedure installs
the latest virus signature (DAT) files to protect you against
recent viruses:
1. Go to the VirusScan
Console located in the
lower right hand of your
system tray.
2. Right click on the Vshield.
3. Choose the Auto Update
button to update your DAT
files.
McAfee offers free DAT file updates for one year. You can also
subscribe to a maintenance and upgrade plan, for a minimal fee.
In addition to updating your virus protection you can also install
the most recent version of the scan engine (the anti-virus
software). Choose the AutoUpgrade option within McAfee
VirusScan to complete this process.
