Hi - been using ClamAV to help secure a few Moodle systems and this has been 
working fine for years. It seems this year to have been causing a problem. I 
frequently get this:

ClamAV has failed to run.  The return error message was " An error occured".
Here is the output from ClamAV:

ERROR: Could not lookup : Servname not supported for ai_socktype

I have been all over the internet looking this up, following dead ends and poor 
advice. I just cannot prevent it from happening no matter what I do, and 
frankly, I’m at a loss. I’ve uninstalled, re-installed, updated, set up users, 
removed users, checked permissions and many other suggestions from different 
user groups. There seems to be a lot of posts with the same vague error message 
and none of the suggested solutions has worked.

I’m running Ubuntu 16.04 with latest ClamAV. We use Freshclam for updating and 
clamd for running as a service. We simply need it to catch the likely problems 
when users upload files to our Moodle systems.

I cannot seem to fix the issue, and really need some sane advice from users 
with far more experience than me.

What causes this error, and how do I fix it? 

Thanks

Hal
