| A DAT file is a component used by a Virus scanner as an update to detect viruses that a user may encounter. Virus scanner companies such as this one use these updates to combat malicious attacks on your PC. Updates should be regularly downloaded and installed as soon as they become available.
The McAfee VirusScan SuperDAT utility lets you upgrade your entire scanning engine and your DAT files at the same time. Certain viruses can only be removed once the scan engine is updated.
The default download is for the DAT upgrade. To the right of this review there is an option to download the SDAT utility to update both your engine and DATs.
