Does your ClamAV installation detect Eicar (or any virus)? http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm > I donīt know if itīs normal but freshclam is only downloading 2 files > main.cvd (version 24), and daily.cvd (version 399) > There are no viruses.db or viruses.db2 files.. Yes, that's normal. The .cvd files are the new database style, the .db? files are the old style. You should use only one (preferably the new one) on any given system. > ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- > Known viruses: 45142 That indiactes a problem - you have two copies of the signature database/s, because this is approximately twice the number of current signatures known to ClamAV (22551). Either you have both the old and the new databases (in which case delete the old .db and .db2 files) or you have the database installed in two places (in which case delete them both and then re-run freshclam). Check that ClamAV successfully detects the Eicar test virus, and then let us know how you are passing emails to ClamAV for scanning (eg amavis, milter, mailscanner, etc...)
