Using the SecureCast
Service to Get New Data Files
Introducing the SecureCast service
The Network Associates SecureCast service provides a convenient method
you can use to receive the latest virus definition (.DAT) file updates
automatically, as they become available, without your having to download
them. The SecureCast service makes use of BackWeb “push” technology to
send out new files, alert messages, and other information via the Enterprise
SecureCast channel, to which you can subscribe when you register with
Network Associates.
To use this option, you must download the BackWeb client software available
from the Network Associates website at:

Š
NOTE: If you are a corporate customer, you must first have a grant
number or product serial number to subscribe to the Enterprise
SecureCast channel.
If you do not have a grant number, please contact your purchasing agent,
your Value Added Reseller, or Network Associates Customer Care at
(972) 308-9960 for assistance.
If you are already a registered Network Associates customer and do not
know your grant number, submit the grant-number request form online:
