What is the best solution to ensure reliable updates without manual

Why not just run it as a daemon?
Apparently, that's just what the original poster is doing.
Only, when they use a mechanism like ports/pkgsrc/dselect/yum/etc to update
the installed version of freshclam, that mechanism leaves the old version of
the daemon running rather than stopping and restarting freshclam to pick up
the new version.
This problem depends upon the specific OS & package mechanism being used and
requires solutions like a postinstall or postupgrade script to automaticly
restart the freshclam daemon.
