Hi Paul,

Is there is a malformed database freshclam will ignore it and shouldn't update.

If it's a manually updated database, clamd will report the error in logs.

That options means....

concurrentDatabaseReload BOOL
Enable non-blocking (multi-threaded/concurrent) database reloads. This 
feature will temporarily load a second scanning engine while scanning 
continues using the first engine. Once loaded, the new engine takes over. 
The old engine is removed as soon as all scans using the old engine have 
completed. This feature requires more RAM, so this option is provided in 
case users are willing to block scans during reload in exchange for lower 
RAM requirements.
Default: yes


Cheers,


Steve
