Description: ClamAV Private Database Mirror Updater Tool
cvdupdate downloads the latest ClamAV databases along with the latest
database patch files.
.
Run this tool as often as you like, but it will only download new content if
there is new content to download. If you somehow manage to download too
frequently (eg: by using cvd clean all and cvd update repeatedly), then the
official database server may refuse your download request, and one or more
databases may go on cool-down until it's safe to try again.
.
This replaces the clamdownloader.pl script formerly provided on clamav.net.
