You can either set up a cron job to run freshclam periodically (perhaps once every 4 hours or so), or you can simply run freshclam as a daemon from system startup RC scripts. It would be possible to run it only once a daily via the daily periodic mechanism, also, but virus DB updates appear more frequently than daily, generally, so your window where new signatures are available but not yet fetched would be larger. -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
