Hi, I've installed the clamav (clamav clamav-base clamav-deamon clamav-freshclean alibclamav1) debian packages taken from www.clamav.net/binary.html At the end of the installation/configuration I've tried as root #clamd PING in the document I've read the clamav deamon should answer with something, that didn't come back. Instead of that, I've found in the log this: ERROR: Socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl is in use by another process. >From ps aux | grep clam I've got this: clamav 640 0.0 0.1 2036 984 ?

Is the antivirus working? Thanks in advance, Enrico ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
