If freshdb overwrite the virus databases when clamd was in the middle of reloading them, clamd might end up having loaded corrupted databases. Does everyone agree that such a window exists ?
After examining the source for clamd, I have concluded that it reloads the databases when it is either restarted or freshclam notifies it that new db's are available so this would mean that the only way for this to occur is that something else is modifying the db's externally.
