freshclam can be run as a daemon now which works very well for updating
without using cron.

First edit /etc/freshclam.conf and set the values there to your environment

Next run freshclam with the -d flag:
   /usr/bin/freshclam -d

The Red Hat/Fedora/Centos RPMs already come with /etc/rc.d/init.d/freshclam
and your distribution/OS should have some way of starting it at boot as well.
