    Hey guys (girls),

    New user here. I'm trying to find a bypass as to how to manually update McAfee Internet Security 2009. I have several computers at home that do not have internet access on the regular. Does anyone have any tips? I have the current definitions from McAfee that I can burn onto a disc, but every option I've exhausted doesn't work.

    -Manually removed the previous .dat version, tried swapping in the new .dat from McAfee
    -Tried using the super.dat install package you can use with the Corporate version
    -Tried patching in the new w/ the current .dat file also, but no luck

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    1. Locate the folder with scan.dat something like McAfee\VirusScan\Engine
    2. Turn off the Mcafee Monitor
    3. Extract/unzip the downloaded file to the folder at location #1 above.

    Tried that with the same result, "Mcafee can not load properly". Thanks for the response.
