Indeed. There does seem to be a view from some people here that
anyone using ClamAV should be regularly updating, monitoring this
list, monitoring blogs, etc. Ordinary people just don't do that.
I wonder how many ordinary users are actually *not* using freshclam
for updates. Pretty much every major distribution I know of will setup
ClamAV in a way that updates are handled through freshclam.
Yes - but many people won't be using ClamAV from (reasonably up-to-date)
Linux distributions... Many will be using ClamWin, or ClamAV otherwise
installed on Windows, or on a NAS, or whatever. Those could well be
using old versions or unusual installations without necessarily
realising what's going on. All they'll know is that suddenly it's
stopped working.
