Only if you're around 24x7x365, and can get your e-mail delivered and acted upon
within 30 minutes.

These days, it is not unusual to see a virus released over a holiday weekend, on
the basis that it will be able to spread to a lot more machines before anyone
picks up the warning and updates their signature files.  Doing a freshclam check
consumes so little bandwidth that it is a no-brainer to use it.  By all means
subscribe to the mailing list and update when a notification comes out if it
makes you happy, but don't take away the safety net on the assumption that
you'll never be ill, or forget, or fail to receive the e-mail.

Best Wishes,

Paul.
