DUsing the SecureCast
Service to Get New Data Files
Introducing the SecureCast service
The McAfee VirusScan SecureCast service provides a convenient method you
can use to receive the latest virus definition (.DAT) file updates automatically,
as they become available, without your having to download them. The
SecureCast service makes use of BackWeb “push” technology to send out new
files, alert messages, and other information via the Enterprise SecureCast
channel, to which you can subscribe when you register with McAfee
VirusScan.
To use this option, you must download the BackWeb client software available
from the McAfee Web site at:


NOTE: If you are a corporate customer, you must first have a grant
number or product serial number to subscribe to the Enterprise
SecureCast channel.
If you do not have a grant number, please contact your purchasing agent,
your Value Added Reseller, or McAfee VirusScan Customer Care at (972)
308-9960 for assistance.
If you are already a registered McAfee VirusScan customer and do not
know your grant number, submit the grant-number request form online:

OR
Send an e-mail message to the appropriate address:
