Am I wrong in thinking this way? That:
You are wasting your bandwidth running freshclam (well, at some point the
virus db files are upto date so no data is tx-ed to your box) all the time.
You are making the database servers use cpu time that could be used for other
purposes. Nothing personal here though, just a question. ;)
