Hi,

We do this VirusScan for Win NT :

1. we configured the VirusScan console on 1 station to, each saturday, :
        - download the updated .dat file from the Internet,
        - update itself,
        - save the .dat file in a shared directory

2. we configured the VirusScan console on all other stations to, each
sunday, :
        - download the updated .dat file from the shared directory,
        - update themselves.

All this is automatic. As for win 9x, we only have a trial version which
doesn't seem to have this capability. Anybody knows if the registered
version does so ?
