    ClamAV comes with the freshclam service to do automatic virus signature
    file updates. You too can run a cronjob.
    There is no real need to scan your Fedora system with any anti-virus
    tool like ClamAV. It can make sense to scan Samba share directories
    where Windows® people store their possibly infected files.

    It makes sense to look for MailScanner updates as there are certainly
    code improvements for better mail processing results. ClamAV can be
    updated easily by using one of the repositories for Fedora Core.
