Thanks to all and you, Dennis in particular.

Here are the results in Fedora Core kernel 2.6.12-1.1376_FC3  :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# which clamscan
/usr/local/bin/clamscan
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cd /usr/local/bin/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# clamscan -V
ClamAV 0.87.1/1211/Fri Dec 16 17:51:35 2005

So as far as which (and everything else I can find) is concerned I
have the correct latest version.

Oooh. Very good, thanks. Here's my result:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# cd /usr/local/lib
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# ls libclam* -l
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 903056 Dec 12 17:57 libclamav.a
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    771 Dec 12 17:57 libclamav.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     19 Dec 12 17:57 libclamav.so ->
libclamav.so.1.0.16
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     19 Dec 12 17:57 libclamav.so.1 ->
libclamav.so.1.0.16
**************************************************
==>    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 544290 May  7  2005 libclamav.so.1.0.10
**************************************************
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 712604 Dec 12 17:57 libclamav.so.1.0.16

So there is an old version of libclamav.so, although the symbolic
link points to the newer version; I'll move/rename the 1.0.10
version and see if that fixes it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# locate libclam*

returns a raft of replies, mostly 0.87.1, but also
        /usr/lib/libclamav.so.1
which is a symbolic link pointing to
        /usr/lib/libclamav.so.1.0.12

So apparently the library locations changed from /usr/lib to
/usr/local/lib?

I've moved these to the Desktop, let's see what happens.

Didn't used to, but as I get geekier and geekier I am doing so more
and more. Finding yum for rpms made my day.

:-)

Thanks for the substantive reply.

Kind regards, Andy
