I am sure many of you might be using the Panda Antivirus Command Line Scanner from Panda Software. The bad news is this is a dos application that does not do automatic updates.

However, you can get automatic updates via a batch script I have written below. (You do need a paid subscription to the product.)

You need 3 utilities for this project.

wget - http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/
DateSet - http://powerusers.info/modules.php?op=modl...wdownload&cid=1
7zip - http://www.7-zip.org/

Here is the batch file script...

CODE

dateset

call mydate.bat

wget --http-user=username --http-passwd=password [url="http://updates.pandasoftware.com:8003/software/basevirus/pav%MONTH%%DAY%.zip"]http://updates.pandasoftware.com:8003/soft...MONTH%%DAY%.zip[/url]

have you guys found the bug in Panda that was randomly deleting emails?
Jim told me about this so I turned off Panada and installed something else instead (does panda scan .zip files?)
