Thank you for that hint. It brought me to the finding that, close to the time of the ISP change, I must have made an update of the clamav package that changed user and group ownership of the local socket without my knowledge. But TCPAddr was and is not enabled; clamconf says: TCPSocket disabled TCPAddr disabled Regards Christoph _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
