I originally tried to setup Freshclam but found that, like the scan, it consumes a large amount of memory. I have an instance large enough to run the scans, but it is on an internal subnet without external access… but downloading files takes almost no memory, so to save some cost I just setup a small instance on the public subnet to download the daily file… doing a once every four hour check, then move the file to the larger instance. Was going to update further to do a head request, but then it stopped working :( ...Really was just looking for an update solution that could be run with a very small amount of memory and resources and this seemed to be the best fit.
