20.  What does SECURITY WARNING: NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES mean?


The ClamAV package requires the GMP library to verify the digital
signature of the virus database. When building ClamAV you need the GMP
library and its headers: if you are using Debian just run apt-get
install libgmp3-dev, if you are using an RPM based distribution install
the gmp-devel package. You'll need to rerun ./configure and recompile
ClamAV. 

24.  I get this error when running freshclam: ERROR: Connection with ???
failed . What shall I do? 

Either your dns servers are not working or you are blocking port 53/tcp.
You should manually check that you can resolve hostnames with:
$ host database.clamav.net
If it doesn't work, check your dns settings in /etc/resolv.conf.
If it works, check that you can receive dns answers longer than 512
bytes, e.g. check that your firewall is not blocking packets which
originate from port 53/tcp. An easy way to find it out is:
$ host db.us.clamav.net
$ dig @ns1.clamav.net db.us.clamav.net
