As mentioned, http connections to sites returned when querying the various country entries failed.
A workaround would be to set DatabaseMirror clamavdb.planetmirror.com in freschclam.conf. It sounds like the problem is more an underlying network connectivity problem from your host to port 80 on many IPs but not to clamavdb.planetmirror.com. Perhaps your ISP requires traffic to most sites to go through a proxy but traffic to clamavdb.planetmirror.com is considered "local" and allowed directly. -- David Shrimpton Systems Programmer Software Infrastructure, Information Technology Services University of Qld 4072 Brisbane Australia _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
