Giampaolo:  There are lots of things that COULD be done, but it is not the 
philosophy of the ClamAV project.

As I said, the devs have made it clear in the past that they feel clamd 
should fail to run on any problem. They also, it seems to me, have made it 
clear they do not think people should run older versions, ever, for any 
reason.

Therefor, this is my own statement and I don't want to put words in the devs 
mouth, but the clear message I get from them is if you aren't the type of 
admin who always installs the latest, then don't run Clamav. Period. It's 
not the right thing for you.

And if it isn't their philosophy -- then IMHO it's the effective outcome, and 
the advice I would give anyone thinking of running it. If you don't want to 
install the latest when it comes out, pick something else.
