Hello. Several years ago database format changed sometimes when upgrading ClamAV. This does caused problems when restart clamd after upgrade. This could be solved by means of the package manager, RPM for example:
%post for FNAME in `ls --ignore=*.socket /var/lib/clamav`; do [ -h /var/lib/clamav/$FNAME ] && continue [ -d /var/lib/clamav/$FNAME ] && rm -rf /var/lib/clamav/$FNAME [ -f /var/lib/clamav/$FNAME ] && rm -f /var/lib/clamav/$FNAME done Can it be not used it now ? The virus database is large now and download continues for a long time. Can clamd ignore wrong format now ? Can freshclam to clear /var/lib/clamav independently ? -- Regards, Sergey _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
