Hello Janis!

I wrote to 4-5 AntiVirus Companies here by the weekeend (Norton Symantec,
McAffee, ROSE AVG, HBED, etc.) on about DAT and Def + updater files, and I
just yesterday got respond back from them all where they told me that they
fine could send me the files but it was not a good idea to hatch the files
out for networks use as there have been a very big explose in computer
Virus and DAT files.
The only they AV companies mean there could be good is their free AddOns
and Utilities + extra small programs.

For example for DAT and Updating Def files fron Norton and Mcaff:
DAT for 5-6 years ago was at 4-5Mb and now has the files grown by 100 x bigger.
2005 = 4.500Mb - 2014 = 400.000MB

  Take care,
            Gert
