I'm running Win98 and McAfee 5.21. I want to update my DATs to 4282, but the
website says "McAfee recommends that you do not manually update these DATs.
You should use the automatic updater."

Can I update them manually by downloading them as I have done in the past?

My system is kind of flaky so I'd like to avoid upgrading at this time.

Thanks, Carol

Yes...

Use the SuperDAT to make sure you also have ENGINE v4260.
