Updating McAfee Dat Files on XP Systems

by jan.graves . Updated 22 years, 4 months ago

I have a problem with some XP systems not updating McAfee VirusScan dat files. Systems that came in with the original version of XP, even though they currently have all Windows patches on them will update the dats, even if the user does not have Admin authority.

Systems which were delivered with XP SP1 on them will not update the dats, unless the user has Admin rights. I do not want all users to have Admin rights, but I do want to keep my virus files up to date!

Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it?

Thanks in advance.
