A slightly related vein that may be helpful.
Symantec AV Research has moved to a JavaScript printout that looks like this:
<script src="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/js/vir.js"></script>
<script src="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/js/tools.js"></script>
<script src="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/js/advis.js"></script>
<script src="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/js/vir_display.js"></script>
<script>
var symSshow = '0';
var symBORDcolor = 'ff0000';
var symLmax = '12';
var symBACKcolor = 'black';
var symFONTcolor = 'ffff00';
var symLINKcolor = 'ffffff';
var symTshow = '0';
symDisplay();
</script>
The three javascript variables are easily overridden and can be tied to your theme's CSS. If you need some help getting this working,
let me know and I'd love to help. I use something really similar to this on an Intranet site since all updates are then handled by the 3rd party. Just be sure to keep on top of their site in case they change addresses or something like that.

[Edit] For reference, variables are:
symSshow - show search box (1 = yes, 0 = no)
symBORDcolor - border color of symantec box
symLmax - number of "Latest Threats" to display
symBACKcolor - background color for box
symFONTcolor - font color for box
symLINKcolor - link color inside of box
symTshow - show latest tools (1 = yes, 0 = no)
[EditEdit] I think I might do this now, my programmers instinct has kicked in. Let's see what we can make happen.
