No idea, sorry. I don't use VirusWall  myself.  The  box  I'm  running
Trophie on actually has a ServerProtect license.

The safest would be, of course, to stop and restart VirusWall from the
code section in trend-update.pl that SIGHUPs Trophie.
But you may dislike this.

Does  VirusWall  try  to  update  itself  at  fixed  hours  just  like
ServerProtect   does   (from   a   crontab   job)?   If  so,  I'd  put
trend-update.pl aside, let VirusWall do its  updates  and  watch  what
happens  at  that  time  (possibly  by  stracing  the master VirusWall
process - that'll tell you whether it gets a signal of  some  sort  or
what does it do).

That's the best hint I can come up with...
