Disable McAfee temp files to c:\windows\temp
Our virusScan Enterprise 7.0 creates .dat files (clean.dat, names,dat and scan.dat) under the
c:\Windows\temp\***(random
adding these files? Each folder is about 60 MBs.
Thanks,

Thanks for the clarification. We are in the process of upgrading to 8.5. I assume 8.5 also keep an archive of it update files in the c:\windows\temp directory. Wish we didnt have to write a script to expunge these update files, to free up disk space.
Thanks

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

These files are the way that VSE 7 updates itself. They are DAT files i.e. detection signatures
Also, you are on a very old version, any reason for not upgrading to 8.5 ?
Thanks
