If the business policy is to allow virus definition updates then the firewall 
should be configured to do so. If not, it should be blocked completely. 
Anything else is just a power-trip on the part of the firewall administrator

consequences.

Hi,
The SysAdmin that responsible for Firewall maintenance,  allows to open only

I shall check squid definitions again.
Thank you,
