drweb messages in log - are they being preloaded?

[Swakoo]

Hi guys, Merry Christmas!

I realise in my /var/log/message

there are a couple of entries related to drweb.. as quoted:

Dec 25 15:27:05 ns3 drwebd: Loading /var/drweb/bases/drw43222.vdb - Ok, virus records: 371

Dec 25 15:27:05 ns3 drwebd: Loading /var/drweb/bases/drw43129.vdb - error!

Basically the above 2 kinds.Either with a certain number or error.

My questions are...

1) What they refering to?
2) Are they being pre-loaded and taking system resources? the total loaded (during bootup) was 100k+. Is that alot?
3) I did not activate drweb for any of my email accounts, so how come there are these records?
4) Can they be removed, or better maintained?

Many thanks!
