Dealing with virus outbreaks
The McAfee AVERT research organization publishes new .DAT files when it
determines that either of these conditions exists:
• A virus presents a “medium on-watch,” “high risk threat of infection”, or
“high risk outbreak“ situation. To learn about what constitutes a medium
on-watch or highrisk,or to learnaboutMcAfeeAVERT riskassessmentin
general,visit the AVERT website at:

• A high-prevalence virus threatens an outbreak situation.
The new .DAT files are designed to detect the infection and, if possible, to
clean the file. In the past, the only way to distributea newly developeddriver
between regular .DAT and SuperDAT release, was to distribute an
EXTRA.DAT file. For information on distributing EXTRA.DAT files, see
“Deploying an EXTRA.DAT file,” starting on page 66.
Now, a new method is available for distributing new drivers during an
outbreak — by deploying routine .DAT file updates.
