+clamav-unofficial-sigs provides a shell script to download, verify (GPG)
+and integrate third-party clamav signatures into the clamav database.
+These third-party signatures provide valuable spam and malware detection
+capabilities and make an excellent enhancement to native clamav signatures.
+It is especially useful when running a mailserver with clamav. The best
+way to update signatures is probably to setup a cron job to do so.
+
+The following four sources of signatures are used by default:
+1) SaneSecurity
+2) MSRBL (Realtime Blacklists)
+3) SecuriteInfo
+4) MalwarePatrol
+
+These sources are fully tweakable via the config file. Also refer to the
+documentation included with the package which provides configuration and
+setup infomation.
+
+The following are the URLs for each signature source:
+SaneSecurity: http://www.sanesecurity.com/index.htm
+SecuriteInfo: http://www.securiteinfo.com/services/clamav_unofficial_malwares_signatures.shtml
+MSRBL: http://www.msrbl.com/
+MalwarePatrol: http://www.malware.com.br/
+
+A sample cron entry is included in the package docs; please make appropriate
+changes to it and add it to root's crontab.
+
+You must have clamav installed to run this. Also, if you are using a firewall
+on your server, you may have to allow rsync traffic, as MSRBL sigs are
+downloaded using rsync.
