I use my own download script that I wrote a while ago, so I'm not sure
what the uvupdate script is doing.
Try re-downloading the file manually using ftp and comparing your
versions. You might also enable some debug on your uvupdate script to
record what is actually being downloaded.
I notice your uvscan version is several years old. I believe the 4.x
series is no longer supported. I notice dat file version is 4100. This
is ancient.
Virus data file v5114 created Sep 06 2007
Scanning for 317556 viruses, trojans and variants.
I've update since then from 5.1 and to 5.2, as part of the annual
"maintenance" fee. However, both the 5.x releases offer nothing by
marketing nonsense in their NEW FEATURES section of the release notes.
In fact, the NEW FEATURES section in both contain the exact same text:
NEW FEATURES:
- More protection : Automatic identification and
removal of viruses delivering the next generation
of best-of-breed anti-virus scanning engines.
It offers improved protection against existing,
new and potential threats and increases the depth
and breadth of the protection we provide.
- It's faster than before : We've listened to our
customers who asked for a faster Engine and it
delivers superior performance to current McAfee
Anti-Virus products on all supported platforms.
- Support for many more packed-executable formats
in which known malware is often re-packaged
for obfuscation purposes.
