While that is a good policy it does not explain why his system changed from one day to the next. I anticipated there were multiple copies of the database and there is (all systems are vulnerable to this non-bug) and I suspect further there are two freshclam installations, or perhaps two freshclam.conf files being used inadvertently, that are downloading database files - one using scripted updates, the other not. Since there are both versions on his system and of recent date, this seems like a plausible cause of his overnight change. It is helpful to know too that upgrading to 0.92.1 will not correct the mess in his database directory. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
