So I need to copy over all 4 files from /var/lib/clamav main.cvd, daily.cvd, bytecode.cvd & mirrors.dat? I didn't want to install clamav on the box which contains the image. Is it possible to install and run just freshclam without running clamav? If not, I guess I install both on a separate machine & copy the files over regularly? _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
