You don't actually have to use the smaller/official-only databases, just setup a directory, and run another freshclam to keep it updated. You can still continue to run the other freshclam too, in the DBdir that has the 3rdparty DBs. You just need 2 conf-files, to keep the 2 dbdirs separate. > >> What if you turn off safebrowsing on that freshclam? > > I noticed the load on one of the systems go very high and freshclam > had consumed 75MB of RAM in a very short period and 99% of the CPU > resources.
