agora web-to-email robot limitation is near to 200k. BTW, is there ftp
sites with bases?

"email" != "internet". Email is email (I use uupc), internet (tcp/ip
and other higher level protocols) is internet.

These scripts should be placed somewhere, where is online access. But I
have no such places near me (by some reasons).

Freshclam? Do you mean, that ClamAV itself doesn't protected against
decepted/broken bases?

Ok, I see, this is impossible (by built-in tools). :( Fortunately, my
friend says, that he will be satisfied by pointing common network place
(which will be used by all clients as place of bases).
