Hmmm, I just do a freshclam from chron rather than let it run as a daemon - as a new user (I just downloaded, installed, integrated with my anti-spam/anti-virus proxy - home built, today). Is doing this in any way a negative thing?

Not if you set it to run on random minute (e.g. not 0). If you set it up as

0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam

then you might be among those people who floods database mirrors during update checks :)

Better change the 0 to something random (e.g. 19, 34, etc).

Well, on general principles I do that anyway :-) But thanks for the response.
