The SuperDAT utility allows you to upgrade your scanning engine and your virus signature (DAT) files. The regular DAT (X-DAT) utility only updates the DAT files. New engines are only created as needed, approximately every 3 to 6 months, so updating with the SuperDAT is not always necessary.
Trusted by individual users and large companies alike, McAfee VirusScan is the world's premier virus detection and removal solution for a major source of infection: your desktop and remote machines, as well as handheld devices.
VirusScan Professional Edition includes quick cleanup of your PC, complete shredding for privacy, and advanced virus protection for two computers!
Please Note: VirusScan 4.03 and earlier is no longer supported and SuperDAT will no longer recognize this as a valid product.
Thanks 2 Yogesh and Anon 4 raising dis issue Spcl Thanks 2 Persie 4 some kinda solution. Also, i tried it with McAfee VSE 8.5i, it worked as well. So, d bottomline is:
from April 2010 onwards, DATSDAT files r compatible with 8.5i and 8.7i.

since april 2010, mcafee virusscan enterprise 8.0 or older which no support for incremental update is no longer supported by mcafee. Thats why the superdat file is now smaller
