First post to the Clamav list.

I have Clamav 0.88.2 installed from source on an OSX client machine.
I want to upgrade to 0.88.4.
Now, usually when I upgrade Clamav, I back up the clamd.conf and freshclam.conf files and cd to the old clamav source folder. From there I run 'make uninstall' and all
is well.
The problem is, somebody deleted the old clamav source folder so 'make uninstall' is
no longer possible. (I presume this is correct).
To manually remove clamav from the system, what are ALL the relevant files I should
be looking for ??

Much Thanks,
Robert.

Damn - hit the send button too soon.

When as in your case the previous build is gone you have to go looking for bits and pieces. In my case this is /usr/local and there are parts in lib, bin, sbin, and man. They should all have the same date so it should be fairly easy to locate them.

I shut down Clamav, rm /usr/local/lib/*clam*. The man pages and binaries will be over written by the next install but I remove the libs manually because crazy things can happen with lib versioning that allows them to survive new installs.

I preserve the /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and freshclam.conf files but examine the new ones for differences.
