Well, the "automagic" updates are only done weekly, however, there are scripts you can write to automatically download and install the virus defs on a daily basis. I've written one based on a script that Symantec provides on their website. I used NCFTPGet since the FTP built into Windows 2000 wasn't working for me.
Here's my script which I run a couple times per day, just to make sure I have the absolutely most up-to-date defs: ncftpget ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton _antivirus/static/navup8.exe call c:\navup\navup8.exe move c:\navup\*.xdb "C:\Program Files\SAV" del /q c:\navup\navup8.exe I created a directory called "navup" and the above batchfile runs from there. -----Original Message----- From: Orin Rehorst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 3:10 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Norton AV sig update slow?
