The important part is _databases_, all databases on that directory. So if you have 3rd party databases there, even if they work with an old version they are not certain to work with a new version. The usual procedure is to delete all databases, run freshclam, start the new clamd daemon. If you use 3rd party databases, the most common procedure is to use a script that tests the database validity before installing it.

Freshclam doesn't change the databases until it finishes downloading. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
