[clamav-users] freshclam --show-progress

[Mark Allan]

There was a change in 0.99 which meant if the freshclam tool was called from something other than a terminal (tty), the progress percentage wouldn't be shown. The intended usage with the new --show-progress flag is to force the progress percentage to be shown even if freshclam is not called from a tty - e.g. being called from third party software.
