It's yearly, isn't it, not really "again and again"?

Anyway, you can (or used to be able to) download the definitions file, and
manually update (I used to do this, on Windows, and for Netware and Exchange).

I suppose you could script something to
do the download, and run the install manually (you'd have to figure out the
filename, since it contains the date of the update). Is there a Windows wget
you could run from the Windows scheduler service?
