It appears that the info in freshclam.conf is out of date, and both the Google safebrowsing API have changed as well as our practices for publishing safebrowsing signature databases have changed since it was written.

I'm told that it's not necessary to run freshclam multiple times an hour anymore. We will have to re-evaluate the advice provided in freshclam.conf for safebrowsing.

Hi,

I had a question regarding the SafeBrowsing option in freshclam.conf for clamav version 0.99.4.

According to man freshclam.conf, if this option is enabled, freshclam “…must update every 30 minutes…”.

Am I correct that this means that the Checks option must be set to 48 or higher ? I don’t see any other options to specify a freshclam update check every 30 minutes.

Thanks,

- J
