I wonder whether just pulling the 'inode modification time' (ls -lc) of update_virus_scanners and using the minutes & seconds from that to create a delay would be acceptable.  That way the update would be every hour, but at the same (semi-random) time every hour.  I _think_ the inode modification time is the time of install, as opposed to the modification time (which would be the same for everyone who hadn't altered the file)
