82719 2002-09-24 12:10:00 I am running 'windows me' and am having a 'tidy up'.
I have deleted temp files and note that in my download file folder there is a great deal of dat files which have a globe of the planet as an icon.
I presume these are from McAfee anti virus updates.
Is it ok to delete them?
thanks guys

82720 2002-09-24 12:22:00 Yes, these are not needed assuming you have run them at download time.

BTW they are .exe files (such as 4223xdat.exe) not .dat files....

82721 2002-09-24 23:32:00 Those dat files should be OK to delete but don't go deleting dat files willy nilly any old where because they can be necessary for some programs to function properly. Susan B (19)
