I used to use a very simple shell script executed by cron to download 
the latest virus scanner DAT file.  I found the script in an old Red Hat 
6 book.  I don't have access to the script anymore, but I bet Google'ing 
will turn up plenty of options.  (I believe the script I used was more 
simple than the one submitted by Eric.)
