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 to set up a cron job. 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 original script was from Bill Landry but it has not been updated for a while now and so this new script from ExtremeSHOK is now the recommended way to update third-party signature.
