A Symantec virus database file is distributed from Web servers of Symantec to all client computers where licensed versions of the Symantec AntiVirus software are installed. This is done when urgent virus definitions have been added or changed and updated. The content of a Symantec virus database file consists of source code compiled and encoded in the VDB file format. Affixed with the .vdb extension, the Symantec AntiVirus software automatically populates the virus definition database of the client computer after downloading and initializing a Symantec virus database file. These Symantec virus database files are usually implemented across corporate networks protected by the Symantec AntiVirus software. Before distribution, these Symantec virus database files are exported from a different file format used by Symantec Web servers. The Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition software uses these Symantec virus database files, and this program can be installed in corporate networks running on Microsoft Windows-based systems.how to open a .vdb file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .vdb files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .vdb. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
