I avoid the PC side of our stuff religously, but it works about as
follows:

automated http-download of latest anti-virus database from nai
automated distribution by rdist to 27 geographically distributed servers
PC's use McAfee scheduler to download and install updates from one of
the local servers.

Works reasonably support free for about 10000 PC clients.

If you have PC's you need to have local virus scanning anyway
(diskettes etc).
