[clamav-users] Update Frequency (15 min or 10 mins)

Hello,

From the docs - it says that the most frequent update of clam AV definitions is 4 times an hour (e.g. every 15 mins).

However, we were investigating the clamAV logs, and it shows the following:

Tue Aug 13 12:11:01 2019 -> Self checking every 600 seconds.

Our confusion is here - is it actually the definition update frequency, or something else.

Apologies for any incorrect assumptions.

Regards,
MAnna

That's the interval at which ClamAV checks its local database files.

Good luck,

And to further answer your question, at present, we are only updating the daily.cvd.... daily.
