Every 10 minutes is much to often. There was a thread about this issue just a while ago. The consensus was 1 to 4 hours and not exactly on the hour. If everybody ran freshclam every 10 minutes, the server would croak.

For the shake of reducing the 'unprotection window', every 10 minutes is a good time. It takes a little resources to check for new signatures (basically a GET to an HTTP site should not make croack one of the mirrors)...
Yes. There's nothing that prevent you running freshclam (or whatever your updater will be) every minute or so.
However, with the default check time of one hour (default for RPM packages, that is), mirrors already
uses lots of bandwitdh (over 100 GB a month each), so please consider that when you're running virus db updater ...
Anyway, I'm not using freshclam but a python script.
TK said newer versions of freshclam will use DNS to determine db versions.
For now, you could either :
- get first few bytes of main.cvd and daily.cvd to determine current version, or
- use my unofficial DNS tracker to determine virus database version.

Please see my previous post to see how I setup and update daily.db.clamav.or.id.
