When activated for # the first time, freshclam will download a new database file (safebrowsing.cvd) # which will be automatically loaded by clamd and clamscan during the next # reload, provided that the heuristic phishing detection is turned on. This # database includes information about websites that may be phishing sites or # possible sources of malware. When using this option, it's mandatory to run # freshclam at least every 30 minutes. # Freshclam uses the ClamAV's mirror infrastructure to distribute the # database and its updates but all the contents are provided under Google's # terms of use.
