This is not a request/advice to the author of that message particularly,
but a general one.

Please don't all run freshclam at "sharp" hours (hh:00). It cause
unneeded peaks of load on database servers. It also makes your
checks/updates slower as many people rush to servers at the same time!

Just select some random number in a range <1;59> and run freshclam at
that many minutes after full hours (or every 2 or how-many-you-want
hours).

Thank you
