Dear All, How do I update my ClamAV database? I can provide the following details regarding my problem: 1. I run ClamAV 0.99.2/24010; 2. After starting clamscan, I get "The virus database is older than 7 days! Please update it as soon as possible." 3. Ran "sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop; sudo freshclam -v to manually update the ClamAV database, however; 4. The following error keeps repeating:
Retrieving http://db.local.clamav.net/daily-24011.cdiff Ignoring mirror 193.92.150.194 (due to previous errors) Ignoring mirror 193.92.150.194 (due to previous errors) WARNING: getpatch: Can't download daily-24011.cdiff from db.local.clamav.net ... Giving up on database.clamav.net... 5. So I restarted the ClamAV daemon: user@virus:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start [ ok ] Starting clamav-freshclam (via systemctl): clamav-freshclam.service. After reading the documentation (https://www.clamav.net/documents/) and the Archives and finding no solution, I decided to ask the community. Please find attached the full Clamscan error log and my trial to update the database manually. Please find the log output below (between #START and #END). Thanks in advance.
