The sample freshclam.conf clamav-0.103.0-rc2/etc/freshclam.conf.sample has the
lines:
        # Number of database checks per day.
        # Default: 12 (every two hours)
        #Checks 24

but https://blog.clamav.net/2020/07/freshclam-cdiffs-effect-on-bandwidth.html
requests:
        To mitigate, please complete the following tasks:

        1. Use Freshclam instead of Python or whatever downloading script
                 you have cron'd.
        2. Reduce the checks to once or twice a day.

Would it make sense to make these agree ?
