Hmm, I had the impression that ClamAV will upgrade it's virust
database automatically
regardless of what version of the actual software you are running. I
did not find a cron job for it though, so is my assumption a false
one, or is the clamd daemon doing it directly? If clamd is doing the
update, how often will it update itself?
Freshclam is being run as a service, and updates often (I think the
frequency is in the conf file). And you're right, the DB is current even
for the older versions. When a new version rolls out (such as 0.88.4),
if it's not a major security fix it normally doesn't get added in the
packages until the next major update. Otherwise there would be updated
packages almost daily for the Toaster stuff. Give it a little time. Your
virus DB is current, though - you can check this by running 'freshclam'
at the CLI and verifying.
