If you want to be able to sue someone then why don't you use a product
like
Symantec Corporate edition, or from any other large vendor?
I don't want to sue someone - I just like being protected against those
who do, and there are a lot of them out there.

Pretty hard one because you connection might be temporarily down, a
temporarily routing problem might exist somewhere
I think such a provider would be liable for very little - but it is very
expensive to establish that in court. Law suits are trivial to initiate
and we are in a very litigous society. If you have 10,000 customers you
can bet at least one of them will levy a suit against you for some

crash all the signature mirrors of Clam all over the world?

If you really want updates instantly, there *is* a solution. Volunteer
to run a mirror. All mirrors are given updates within 2 minutes.

I believe it already uses RANGE, so traffic wise the load is greatly

Every 10 minutes is much to often. There was a thread about this issue
just a while ago. The consensus was 1 to 4 hours and not exactly on the
hour. If everybody ran freshclam every 10 minutes, the server would
croak.
