    Steven i would look at those solutions where you can have a
    distribution server on the network which is the storage point for the
    virus signature updates. CA's inoculate does this as i'm sure many
    others do. I think you need the microsoft client installed to access
    the file share. In their update queue the clients would update from
    the redistribution server first. Your only problem then is to find a
    way of updating that redistribution server regularly.

    You could also look at zonealarms/checkpoints integrity solution where
    i believe every workstation must meet the patch levels you set eg
    virus/others before you can authenticate to the network. Have not seen
    it in real life but know it exists. good luck
