Version 1.02
Symantec Antivirus 8.x, 9.x, 10.x Coporate Edition XDB Definition Updater
Mar-17-2005
-John Taylor
Modified by Sander Nieuwenhuizen @ Sep-27-2006
Automatically updates XDB virus definitions from Symantec's web site.
The program checks if the download directory exists. Otherwise it will create the directory from AVPATH.
Checks if it already has downloaded the latest version.
If you would like you could modify the variables WEBPAGE, TMPPATH and AVPATH

as mentioned above i only modified it to my needs. You may modify it to your own needs. And don't blame me if it won't work on your system.
I have used it for SAV CE 8.x, 9.x and 10.x without any problems.
