1.      Go to the following site and download the latest available SuperDAT file. http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads...ent=enterprise

2.     Save the file to your Desktop. Close the download window when done

.

3.     Click Start, click Run, then click Browse.

4.     Navigate to your desktop and click on the downloaded SDAT file. Click Open.

5.     The full contents of the Open box should be

Code:

Press the RIGHT-ARROW key until you reach the end of this line. Add the following to the end of the line (be sure to include a space between the " and the /e):

Code:

 /e C:\SDAT

The full command line should be as follows:

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Desktop\sdat4594.exe" /e C:\SDAT

Click OK. If you get an open file security warning, please click Run.
It may appear as nothing has happened. This is normal. Wait 30 seconds and then continue.

 

6.     Restart your computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
To do this, press the F8 function key during the boot process. This should be done right after the PC speaker BEEPS when first turned on and 2-4 seconds BEFORE the Windows startup logo appears.
