The VDB file extension refers to a Symantec Virus Database File. VDB files contain definitions for viruses and malware. These files are created by Symantec for use with their security software. The VDB file format consists of records with details on viruses and malware. This includes the name, type, detection level, affected files, and more.
VDB files are distributed from Symantec servers to client computers running their antivirus software. This happens when new threat definitions have been added or changed. The VDB file updates the virus definition database on the client automatically after downloading. Corporations using Symantec AntiVirus often implement VDB files across their networks.
VDB files have also been used by DreamWorks Animation. Their open source OpenVDB library creates volumetric effects for animated films. The VDB files contain data to represent elements like smoke, clouds or water. OpenVDB has been used in movies like “How to Train Your Dragon 2”.
VDB files are commonly found on Windows 10 devices, especially in China. Google Chrome is the most popular browser among VDB users. The files are primarily meant for internal use by antivirus programs. They are not typically user-editable or convertible to other formats.

The VDB file is an OpenVDB Volume Database. OpenVDB is open source software for working with volumetric data. VDB files contain 3D data used in visual effects. Software like Blender, Houdini or Autodesk Maya open VDB files. VDB uses a tree structure to store voxel data sparsely. This allows creating volumes where only regions with data are stored. OpenVDB is used in films like How to Train Your Dragon 2. It represents volumes like smoke efficiently in memory and files. OpenVDB allows fast random and sequential voxel access. The VDB format stores hierarchical data structures compactly.
