This is surprising to me.  I would have assumed that freshclam and the DNS 
record checking should all be done in UTC/GMT and not in the local timezone.

What platform are you running, and does the system clock you use run in GMT 
with /etc/localtime pointing to the appropriate TZ zoneinfo file, or whatever 
the appropriate convention is for setting up time correctly?
