     This is my own headache - how much I trust my ways. Especially, this is
not headache, if bases signed by something like PGP keys.

     Stop. Does this sentence mean, that I may just copy (received) .cvd
files into ClamAV directories and at next (re)start they will be used
without using freshclam? Also: does this sentence mean, that ClamAV loads
all ~3M of bases into memory and doesn't more accesses base files?
