 # This option allows you to easily point freshclam to private mirrors.
 # If PrivateMirror is set, freshclam does not attempt to use DNS
 # to determine whether its databases are out-of-date, instead it will
 # use the If-Modified-Since request or directly check the headers of the
 # remote database files. For each database, freshclam first attempts
 # to download the CLD file. If that fails, it tries to download the
 # CVD file. This option overrides DatabaseMirror, DNSDatabaseInfo
c7c90890
 # and ScriptedUpdates. It can be used multiple times to provide
cc590e07
 # fall-back mirrors.
 # Default: disabled

 # This option enables support for Google Safe Browsing. When activated for
73ed335c
 # the first time, freshclam will download a new database file
 # (safebrowsing.cvd) which will be automatically loaded by clamd and
 # clamscan during the next reload, provided that the heuristic phishing
 # detection is turned on. This database includes information about websites
 # that may be phishing sites or possible sources of malware. When using this
 # option, it's mandatory to run freshclam at least every 30 minutes.

 # Freshclam uses the ClamAV's mirror infrastructure to distribute the
