Actually they are WAY smaller than that. I just looked at my install and the
largest DAT (called IDE files in Sophos) file that I have is 8k.

Sophos DAT files are text files and a few hundred K. They say they are the
smallest in the industry. Most AV vendors overwrite their old DATS, or keep a
history of 2 or 3, so space shouldn't be a huge issue.

I would if I could, the problem of course is the flash drive has a limited
amount of storage so you would not be able to keep it updated too well with dat
files because it would eventually run out of space. If you have a ton of
storage available on your flash go for it. I'd look at something like the Trend
SMB Antivirus solution though as it is a small download.

Thanks for the info!
