The <I>freshclam</I> 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 <I>clamav</I>. <I>freshclam</I> 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
<B>freshclam(1)</B> manual.
