Only, when they use a mechanism like ports/pkgsrc/dselect/yum/etc to

freshclam to pick up the new version.
This problem depends upon the specific OS & package mechanism being used
and requires solutions like a postinstall or postupgrade script to
automaticly restart the freshclam daemon.
Ahhh, I see. Strangely enough I noticed the ports of FreeBSD started
doing this. It used to try to stop the clamd and freshclam processes
while updating. Not sure when this changed though.
