>I looked at the clamav.net site and could not find a way to download a fresh >base without freshclam. Does such a way exist? This was discussed at length fairly recently. Basically, you need some sort of web access (port 80) to copy the files. You can, if you are satisfied with the md5sum's, copy them into the appropriate directory yourself. When you restart clamd, or at a regular interval (I think it's once per hour by default) clamd will reload with the files it finds in the directory. The preferred method for this sort of activity is to create a local web server, copy the files there by some method, and point freshclam at the local mirror. Since you have a linux box and a winDOwS box, you could run freshclam on the linux box, create an apache Alias that points to /var/lib/clamav, and direct your winDOwS box to run freshclam with a url that refers to the apache alias. If you don't have web access, there is no simple way to get the updates. Sorry. -- Dan McDonald, CCIE #2495 _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
