The VSE product development team is committed to providing effective protection against the multitude of malware threats in the wild today. Malware writers continue to introduce new threats every day, which requires us to add more data to our signature files. The product development team is pursuing initiatives to reduce the DAT size, but these are mid-term to long-term goals. So, we strongly recommend that you increase available resources for your endpoints.
