Auto-update on Windows?

Is there a way to auto-update the rules (i.e. Rules Du Jour) in
Windows?

TIA,

grant

I have written a perl script that does this for bigevil and you should
be able to duplicate it for others too. I haven't got round to making it
handle multiple rules yet. Instructions for setup are in the head of the
script.

You can get a copy here and take a look to see if it suits:

I don't use them, but I'm guessing that they're updated on *nix via a cron job. If that's the case, you should look at the Schedule service in NT/2k/XP. Open up a command prompt and type

  C:\>at /?
