You run update_virus_scanners as an hourly cron job (twice daily is way
too infrequent), this calls the appropriate autoupdate script.  In most
cases the autoupdate script is a wrapper to the virus scanners own
update mechanism (certainly true in the case of clam) which also creates
a lock which prevents MailScanner trying to scan mail whilst the update
is in progress.
