You don't need to edit the script at all.

All the -autoupdate scripts expect to be given the installation
directory (as taken from /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf) as the
first parameter on the command-line.

If you just use my update_virus_scanners script that I provide, it does
all of this for you.

You really don't need to edit my code.
