- NOTE: Beginning with the May release of McAfee Anti-Virus Products,
- the Virus Data File numbering system has changed. The previous
- format was to include the DAT file revision in parentheses after
- the program revision as a 3 digit number that indicated numeric
- file revision. For Example:
- 2.2.0 (221)
- indicated DAT file revision number 221.
-
- In this new format, the DAT file revision is a 4 digit number,
- indicating the year and month of the release as in:
- 2.2.0 (9505)
- This indicates executable revision 2.2.0, and a data file released in
- May of 1995.
