I think I've found a bug in the trend wrapper( didn't notice before as i
was running my update script from cron)
Once the autoupdate script is installed, and
/usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners is run

the following output is returned:
Invalid or unknown parameter - -IsItInstalled

If the the line
exec $PackageDir/bin/$prog "$@"
in trend-wrapper is changed to
exec $PackageDir/bin/$prog "-v" (which will obviously stop the scanning)

it works fine. I guess this is something to do with the output of vscan
and the tests in /usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners???
