From: Eep² on 19 May 2010 16:09 I have a McAfee VirusScan DAT updater called MCUP (McAfee DAT Updater, http://tnlc.com/eep/mcup.zip ) (readme at http://tnlc.com/eep/mcup.txt ) which I've been using since 2003, that stopped working after April 2, 2010 (when McAfee changed their antivirus DAT zip file name--avv- dat####.tar now) and contents). It no longer works so I'm back to manually downloading DAT files for the command-line version (I refuse to have the bloatware GUI AntiVirus constantly running in the background). Can anyone can create a program to download the latest DAT file at http://download.nai.com/products/commonupdater/ or ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/ (now only has a tar file--no zip--but the SuperDAT exe can be manually extracted via "/e" switch for its DATs) and verify it against the current DATs so they are not mindlessly redownloaded? I have command-line wget and unzip programs and use a batch file to rename and move the DATs. Even better would be to use the incremental DAT updates in http://download.nai.com/products/commonupdater/ (*.gem files) instead of having to download the obnoxiously large ~70MB (and growing with each update) compiled DAT file. Thanks! http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.anti-virus/browse_thread/thread/51fe27c5ed9e2c00/6e41b091483b7220 to see the original thread and a more recent thread on McAfee's site (no response so far) at http://community.mcafee.com/thread/24897

McAfee has changed their motus operandi. The SuperDAT no longer contains the command line scanner and they no longer use UPDATE.INI and they are integrating the scaners engines and signatures of companies they recently purcahsed. This has caused a detriment to the McAfee Module of my Multi AV Scanning Tool. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Trend Micro too. They cahnged the web page that shows the signature update version. It is fixed in my Multi AV v7.x Beta but I can't fix the McAfee module. Think of replacing it. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
