Sophos Update Batch file

[bier444]

hy

if you use Sophos Antivirus, you can use this batch file
to update the virus database.
Copy the batch file into your Sophos main directory.
You also need the following tools: pkunzip, wget for windows

http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin-1_5_3_1-binary.zip

@echo off
set sophos=391
wget -O %sophos%_ides.zip http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/%sophos%_ides.zip
pkunzip -n %sophos%_ides.zip

pkunzip -n %sophos%_ides.zip

I use something like that, but with the Sophos-supplied sget
instead of wget, /l= instead of -O and I skip the %sophos%_ as
ides.zip is always the latest set.
