Ok...so it is. Apparently the version I'm getting through apt-get on ubuntu is .95.2. Looking at the site the newest is .95.3. Well ok so I need to update. However I have a major issue. I was planning to use clamav to scan user uploaded files, however when I import pyclamav and it register's out of date it doesn't just politely inform me it's time to update it takes down my entire django development server with it.
I can't fathom a possible reason that the best response the an out of date virus scanner is the moment it gets imported to kill the entire process. Log a warning sure, go "No way I'm not going to let you scan anything until you update". Worse it managed to kill the entire development server process for some unknown reason. I can't ever imagine launching a live site with something that I've seen act like this. I miss an update by a few days of a mostly non essential piece of software and my entire file upload system (and possibly even the webserver) is done for? Clearly the "solution" to the problem is to update my version....but how do I prevent clam from doing this at all. If I'm slow to update it shouldn't completely disable itself. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
