Use DNS to query the current available database version: dig TXT current.cvd.clamav.net It will return the TXT record. Here's an example: 0.91.2:44:4533:1192196066:1 ClamAV version: 0.91.2 main.cvd version: 44 daily.cvd version: 4533 Unix time of update: 1192196066 (Oct 12, 2007 at 06:34:26 in my timezone) dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
