Hi,

I saw indeed that this info is shown upon running freshclam. However I do not want to trigger an update to the servers. I only want this info. Just running freshclam will add more load to your pattern file servers which is not needed in this case. Hence the request ...

Kind regards
Pieter

You didn't bother spending 10 seconds trying it then, rather than wasting all our time:
