I should have mentioned that I have put together a few of these batch av
updaters that I put in a specific folder and run as scheduled background
jobs using a cron-like entry that executes the following on a once-a-day
schedule. Using Windows XP.

===== Start batch clip (watch wrapping)
[01] @echo off
[02] echo Updated: %date% %time% >>"C:\My
Documents\Dev\bat\upd-qb\av_update.log"
[03] for /r "C:\My Documents\Dev\bat\upd-qb" %%x in (*.bat) do @start ""
/b /min c:\util\hidden.exe "%%x"
===== End batch clip

If I understand the batch file, it still has to download sdat*.exe
first before checking if it's different from the existing DAT file.
Any way for it to remember the current version and check the ftp
directory like MCUP does?

Not quite.

The first time it runs it will download sdat*.exe to its local home
directory ("D:\Download\AV\mcafee"). That local file stays there (until
it is deleted in a future run). On subsequent runs it uses wget.exe's -N
switch to not download the same version/file again.

Then, by evaluating the archive bit of the existing sdat*.exe, it uses
the sdat*.exe filename version string (extracted to mcaf.lst) to process
the latest sdat version available by running it with the /e switch to a
temp directory. It then copies all the new data to the live mcafee
location and removes the temp contents and location.

It then removes any sdat*.exe local file that remain from a previous
download and finally, flips the archive bit of the latest local
sdat*.exe so that it can direct processing when it downloads a new
sdat*.exe next time.

I originally put it together after being unsatisfied with MCUP some time
ago and has worked well for me anyway.
