Package: clamav-unofficial-sigs
Version: 3.6-1
Severity: important
The default update interval for the SecuriteInfo databases is every four hours.
Unfortunately,
http://www.securiteinfo.com/services/clamav_unofficial_malwares_signatures.shtml
makes it clear that downloading these databases more than once per day will be
considered
abusive and lead to your IP being blacklisted. This has happened to one of my
servers.
Please consider changing the default si_update_hours to 24 or greater (it
sounds like 48 or
even 72 hours would be plenty often enough).
