Incorrect.
When you run freshclam as a daemon, the freshclam.conf specifies how
many times per day to check for updates. There's not a lot of
practical difference between a daemonized freshclam with "Checks 24"
and a once-an-hour cron job.
The default is "Checks 12" which means {check for an update 12 times
per day}.
Regardless whether you're using cron or daemonized, the default
behavior is to check DNS for the current version to decide if a
download is needed.
