 Example
 
 # Path to the database directory.
 # WARNING: It must match clamd.conf's directive!
 # Default: hardcoded (depends on installation options)
 #DatabaseDirectory "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\database"
 
 # Path to the log file (make sure it has proper permissions)
 # Default: disabled
 #UpdateLogFile "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.log"
 
 # Maximum size of the log file.
 # Value of 0 disables the limit.
 # You may use 'M' or 'm' for megabytes (1M = 1m = 1048576 bytes)
 # and 'K' or 'k' for kilobytes (1K = 1k = 1024 bytes).
 # in bytes just don't use modifiers. If LogFileMaxSize is enabled,
 # log rotation (the LogRotate option) will always be enabled.
 # Default: 1M
 #LogFileMaxSize 2M
 
 # Log time with each message.
 # Default: no
 #LogTime yes
 
 # Enable verbose logging.
 # Default: no
 #LogVerbose yes
 
 # Use system logger (can work together with UpdateLogFile).
 # Default: no
 #LogSyslog yes
 
 # Specify the type of syslog messages - please refer to 'man syslog'
 # for facility names.
 # Default: LOG_LOCAL6
 #LogFacility LOG_MAIL
 
 # Enable log rotation. Always enabled when LogFileMaxSize is enabled.
 # Default: no
 #LogRotate yes
 
 # This option allows you to save the process identifier of the daemon
 # Default: disabled
 #PidFile "C:\Program Files\ClamAV\freshclam.pid"
 
 # By default when started freshclam drops privileges and switches to the
 # "clamav" user. This directive allows you to change the database owner.
 # Default: clamav (may depend on installation options)
 #DatabaseOwner clamav
 
 # Use DNS to verify virus database version. Freshclam uses DNS TXT records
 # to verify database and software versions. With this directive you can change
 # the database verification domain.
 # WARNING: Do not touch it unless you're configuring freshclam to use your
 # own database verification domain.
 # Default: current.cvd.clamav.net
 #DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net

 # database.clamav.net is now the primary domain name to be used world-wide.
 # Now that CloudFlare is being used as our Content Delivery Network (CDN),
 # this one domain name works world-wide to direct freshclam to the closest
 # geographic endpoint.
2c1f8200
 # If the old db.XY.clamav.net domains are set, freshclam will automatically
 # use database.clamav.net instead.

 # How many attempts to make before giving up.
 # Default: 3 (per mirror)
 #MaxAttempts 5
 
 # With this option you can control scripted updates. It's highly recommended
 # to keep it enabled.
 # Default: yes
 #ScriptedUpdates yes
 
 # By default freshclam will keep the local databases (.cld) uncompressed to
 # make their handling faster. With this option you can enable the compression;
 # the change will take effect with the next database update.
 # Default: no
 #CompressLocalDatabase no

 # With this option you can provide custom sources for database files.
 # This option can be used multiple times. Support for:
 #   http(s)://, ftp(s)://, or file://

 # 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
 # and ScriptedUpdates. It can be used multiple times to provide
 # fall-back mirrors.
 # Default: disabled
aa9112df
 #PrivateMirror mirror1.example.com
 #PrivateMirror mirror2.example.com

 # With this option enabled, freshclam will attempt to load new
 # databases into memory to make sure they are properly handled
 # by libclamav before replacing the old ones.
 # Default: yes
 #TestDatabases yes
 
 # This option enables support for Google Safe Browsing. When activated for
aa9112df
 # 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.
27281e33
 # Freshclam uses the ClamAV's mirror infrastructure to distribute the
 # database and its updates but all the contents are provided under Google's
aa9112df
 # terms of use.
 # See https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/overview
 # and https://www.clamav.net/documents/safebrowsing for more information.
