Hey

Below is code to go thru the names of files on the webpage. Basically I think you want to know what is the new updates and compare to those on your hard drive. You can compare the $oDoc.name from the page and if it doesnt exist on your harddrive use $oDoc.href to get the full link to download it.

Hope this helps

#include <IE.au3>
    _IEErrorHandlerRegister ("MyErrFunc1")
    $oIE = _IECreate("http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/")
    $oDocs = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE,-1)
           For $oDoc in $oDocs
                    $value = $oDoc.name
               MsgBox(0,"Name",$value,1)
           next


func MyErrFunc1()
 ConsoleWrite($oDoc.value)
 EndFunc

Firefox's secret is the same as Jessica Simpson's: its effortless, glamorous style is the result of — shhh — extensions!

#include <Inet.au3>
$sSource = _INetGetSource("http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/")
$aArray = StringRegExp($sSource, '(?s)(?i)\<A HREF\="(\d{8}-\d{3}-x86\.exe)"', 3)
If IsArray($aArray) Then MsgBox(64, 'Latest exe', 'http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/' & $aArray[UBound($aArray) - 1])

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
