The def's for clamAV come from OpenAntiVirus. They seem to have been
updated recently, but poll the site for a few days and see exactly how long
it takes for their next update.

The google cache has a copy of the page showing the defs as last modified
July 1 2002 04:55:00 AM and seems to have been crawled Wed Sep 4 23:15:04
2002. So there's a period of time in which the defs appear to have gone
without update for a whole 2 months.
