The cron people have noted that their servers get buried
at the top of the hour, and have requested that people
have their freshclam run at a random time other than right
on the hour.

I put this in my /etc/crontab
17 * * * * root freshclam --daemon-notify=/etc/clamav.conf -u defang 2>&1 |
logger -p mail.info -i -t freshclam
