[Clamav-users] Freshclam on Win32 issues MD5 verification error

[Ignasi Prat]

Hi Clamav users:   I'm running the Clamav Win32 version and it is working pretty well until I try to automatically update the database with freshclam.   If I update the database by downloading manually the .CVD files to the "\share\clamav" dir everything is fine.   But when I try to run the automatic update tool the result is the following:   C:\clamav-devel\bin>freshclam -v Current working dir is /cygdrive/c/clamav-devel/share/clamav ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb  5 08:27:13 2004 Connected to database.clamav.net (213.184.16.3).

Reading CVD header (daily.cvd): OK Downloading daily.cvd [*] ERROR: Verification: MD5 verification error. Waiting 10 seconds...   C:\clamav-devel\bin>   As you can see the "main.cvd" file is updated, but that is because I updated it manually yesterday.   The round robin technique works fine and everytime I flush DNS database freshclam tryes to update with a diferent server, but the MD5 verification error still apears anyway so I suspect this is not a corrupted file problem in a particular server.   Did I forget anything or Win32 freshclam has a problem with this ?   Regards,    Ignasi Prat
