it has become such a pain, that I switched to using the xDat.exe updates, instead of the autoupdate sites.

code:
 
		; ******* dat Update it
		$availdat=dir('$setup\apps\mcafee\update\*xdat.exe')
		$newdat="4.0."+left($availdat,4)
		if $newdat > $vscandat         
		        ? "  Updating McAfee Antivirus"
			shell ('$setup\apps\mcafee\Update\$availdat /silent')
			for $loop=1 to 20
			    "."
			    sleep 1
			    next
			$vsdatdate   =readvalue("$vsengine","szDatDate")
			$vscandat    =readvalue("$vsengine","szDatVersion")
			endif
