Ok, let me ask this - is it
Yeah, they don't really push it to hard on the website, that is for sure :) > being > kept current?

I haven't ever seen upgrades to the command line scanner. McAfee actually releases new DATs everyday, the windows clients are only configured to download the weekly/bi-weekly ones. The URL for the daily DAT file is http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/daily_dats/DAILYDAT.ZIP I just run a Perl script through cron everyday that pulls that file down and extracts it to the right location. It also runs the command line to make sure the DATs weren't corrupt. > Ian > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE+ZkbgSiY+RXI7JS4RAqEqAJ4u8NzB3brDFxwYx2z1wzAfqUwiGACfZ6FO > X7zFbdw+vVQfrRcj58z2GE8=nsPl > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >
