Clamav not updating at expected times after update

Question

I am running an intel xserve macosx server 10.4.10
my clamav was version 0.88.5
I updated clamav this morning to 0.91.1 using the tutorial from http://osx.topicdesk.com (I am still using clamscan and haven't made the changes to use clamd)
My clamav was set to update 8 times a day, ie every three hours.
However as of time of writing the system still hasn't checked for new updates.
It appears that /etc/freshclam.conf is set to 12 times a day (see below), whilst the SA GUI is still showing 8 times. Where does it get the frequency from?
Also /var/log/freshclam.log appears to show using clamav 0.91.1,
where clamscan --version
ClamAV 0.88.5/4107/Wed Aug 29 17:16:42 2007
Can someone tell me if I have made a config error. How do I get freshclam to start updating again at the required intervals?

TIA for any assistance

Answer 1

If you followed my tutorial and used the support files referenced by it, then freshclam is set to update 3 times a day (which is more than enough).
If you are not happy with that, edit:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.clamav.freshclam.plist
and change the value below "-c".
When done issue:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.clamav.freshclam.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.clamav.freshclam.plist
