Dear Cheng,
Hope following information helps you:
1) I am going to use the anti-virus in a closed network, and connection to
the Internet is not possible. How can ClamAV be updated manully without
accessing the Internet? Can "freshclam" be deactivated? And will there be
any effect on the signature update if "freshclam" is deactivated?
==> You can download the Virus Definition manaully from the internet and put
into your server and then reload it, the new virus defintion will reloaded
into ClamAV. And surely, freshclam can be deactivated manaully by stopping
the freshclam deamon.
2) There is a large number of end users within the closed network. Are
mass
installation and update possible? Are remote installation and update
possible? If yes, how can they be done?
==> In fact, you can setup a update server for such Virus Definition
Updates.
3) What is the actual virus database update frequency?
==> I am not so sure, it seems it's daily. Or even hourly, ClamAV repsonse
to new Virus very fast. In my case, i set the server to update 2 hours a
time.

Dear all,
I want to install an anti-virus for e-mail in a closed network and I have
done some research on ClamAV. I have some questions on the software and it
would be grateful if you could answer them.
1) I am going to use the anti-virus in a closed network, and connection to
the Internet is not possible. How can ClamAV be updated manully without
