IDEA: Symantec anti-virus auto-updater
f0dder:
This shouldn't be too hard to do, especially not in a decent scripting language or .NET... basically, grab the page, do a regexp search, and grab the file if the date has changed.
What's the full URL to a download file? A quick-and-dirty regexp might look something like
--- ---http://www\.symantec\.com/path/(\d{8})-(\d+)-x86\.exe ...
PhilKC:
I'm working on something now... Shouldn't take too long to finish up and GUI-ify...
*cough* Assuming it stops creating 80MB files *cough*

kimmchii:
you can also use HTTrack to download all exe, and then use task schedule to run and delete.
PhilKC:
Ok, that took longer than expected, sorry.
http://bluescreenofdeath.co.uk/DC/nUpdate.exe
Usage:
Normal: Just double click...
With logging to file: nUpdate "C:\Log.txt"
Minimise to hide in the tray... That's about it...
It doesn't delete after running, but it does overwrite the same one each time, so not much space is lost...
EDIT: I do not own Norton *... Hence I couldn't test this as much as I would have liked to...
Errors/bugs/etc, either post here or email the address in the progam...

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
This occurred on the first run after it downloaded the update and said it was executing it. I didnt see the file run, but it said it was going to execute. Also, can you make it so that it puts the URL + filename being downloaded in the log. And one final request (that I can think of right now), is there a way to make it start hidden (only in tray)? Right now, when I launch it, the program maximizes itself and starts in tray. Thanks again man! This is why I love dc.com :)
