FreshClam
The freshclam utility is the default database updater for Clam
AntiVirus. It works in two modes - from the command line and as a daemon.
When started by the superuser it drops the privileges, by default it works
as clamav. freshclam downloads the database from the Clam
AntiVirus homepage and checks its consistency using MD5 sum.
More information about the usage of this program you will find in
freshclam(1) manual.
