Freshclam to only pull safebrowsing.cvd
Good day Guys

We have project to have a to have freshclam *only* pull / update
safebrowsing.cvd

what I find is, when I run my custom freshclam.conf file it still pulls
daily.cvd, main.cvd, bytecode.cvd

Anyone know how I can switch this off?

Many thanks
Regards
Brent

From the freshclam 'man' page:

--update-db=DBNAME

With this option you can limit updates to a subset of database
files. The DBNAME should be "main", "daily", "bytecode",
"safebrowsing" or one of the 3rd party database names. This option can
be used multiple times and only works with the official and 3rd party
databases distributed through the ClamAV mirrors, your custom
databases (specified with DatabaseCustomURL in freshclam.conf) will
not be ignored.

Does this not work for you?
