No. Both merely say: "truncated, retrying in TCP mode, timed out -no servers could be reached". I am baffled, especially by the fact that the problem first occurred for no apparent reason while happily using Clamav 0.70. Upgrading to 0.71 didn't help. I agree with you and others that the firewall is the most likely culprit but turning it off didn't help. Nor did changing ISPs. I have not made any amendments to freshclam.conf, nor to clamav.conf (except for the necessary addition of # before example. We seem to have eliminated everything. I think that I have reached to end of my technical ability and have tried your and others' patience enough so will start from scratch with a reformat and reinstall. I am most grateful to you and all who have helped. Although the problem is not solved, I have learned a lot and maybe one day I shall have enough knowledge to help others lower down on the learning curve.
