I tried disabling my firewall with no effect. "host database.clamav.net" attracted: "truncated, retrying in TCP mode, timed out -no servers could be reached". I can't believe the problem is just that the servers are busy. I get the same lack of response at all times of the day. Sorry, but I don't understand what a DNS query means. I am incidentally running SuSE 9.1 Pro on a desktop (no network).
