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.
