See the NotifyClamd option in > the freshclam.conf and the SelfCheck option in clamav.conf Thank you everyone for the support. I solved the problem. In my clamav.conf there wasn't the directive "DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav" while it was present (and commented out) in freshclam.conf. I copied and uncommented into the clamav.conf, restarted and now clamd reads the database from the correct place. I would like to remind that I installed everything with gentoo's portage system. Is this a failure of their scripts or is it clam's? Basically freshclam and clamscan were using the new database path (/var/lib/clamav) while clamd was using an old one (/usr/share/clamav). In the former are located the .cvd files, in the latter these three files that are not being updated anymore: ce0d05c72efc2275, viruses.db, viruses.db2 I read many posts of some users who might be encountering the same problems. As it was suggested by someone else, I don't see why the three softwares (clamscan, clamd and freshclam) should use different configuration files that might lead to these mistakes. Also I couldn't find anything about "DatabaseDirectory" in the docs (I downloaded the V0.68 PDF and also read the HTML version).
