Hi all,
The script for safe browsing is not downloading all the definitions all the time since it will be time/resource-consuming. Definitions are stored in mysql and only the delta is downloaded from google. After the download is successfully and the mysql data is up-to-date you can generate the file for clamav.
Basically you have two scripts:
clamsbsync.py to update the mysql db from google
clamsbwrite.py to create the .gdb file for clamav
ps: don't put too much faith in safebrowsing database. I rarely have any hit even if there are almost 3 milion of signatures.
In contrast i have way more many hits with Sanesecurity.

As if you didn't have enough to do already!

There's something I'm missing. None of this seems to be mentioned at
https://www.clamav.net/documents/safebrowsing
If you'd like a documentation patch I can do some reading and give it
a go, what's the best place to start?
