# Check for new database 24 times a day
Checks 24

i mean:
OfficialDatabaseOnly false
SelfCheck 300

Wed Nov 10 15:18:09 2021 -> SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload.
Wed Nov 10 15:18:09 2021 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Wed Nov 10 15:18:25 2021 -> Database correctly reloaded (8581056 signatures)
Wed Nov 10 15:18:25 2021 -> Activating the newly loaded database...
