updating mcafee uvscan

[Erik van der Leun]

Hi,

I've been struggling with the autoupdating of McAfee uvscan virus definitions.
Although I've seen the updatescript at work, retrieving updates, etc, I noticed
that the script I have from McAfee uvscan itself (update-nai.pl) comes with different results.

For the record: the autoupdate scripts from MailScanner is used every hour
and actually does (seem to) work. It just retrieves updates of a previous day...

I guess a bit of output says enough:
uvscan simply detects more/earlier when I use update-nai...

I'd like some feedback
