None of these updater scripts contain the signatures in and of themselves.

They all just streamline the process of downloading third party 
signature sets.

Once reasonably complete, the only ongoing updates the scripts 
themselves should need is a periodic review of any preconfigured 
signature sources to make sure they're still online.
