I noticed that there is a link to update the anti-virus definitions. Can the udpates be automated by logging in through the console and adding a script to cron.

ClamAV database updates are already automatic. We run a daemon (freshclam) which updates the definitions each hour, so you will always have the latest anti-virus definitions.

I was looking in the wrong place for the updates - I was looking in cron and not at the running processes. Verified that freshclam was running. Thanks for the response.
