Comment (by facelikeapig):

 I see your point, and I partially agree, however, if I were to allow the
 tool (freshclam) to freely connect to the network, it sort of defeats the
 purpose of little snitch, as it could no longer recognise a binary had
 been maliciously altered. That is the purpose of code signing. Note, I do
 not have issues with other binaries installed by macports that also
 connect to the internet.
