| 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) | ||
