I installed clamav on friend´s laptop (via teamviewer because she lives far away). Her system: Linux/Lubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, 64 bit.
why? linux users rarely need antivirus.
Alas virus-signature-update doesn´t work. After killing the freshclam-process - in order to update manually
Why? automatic update should work as good as manual. Unless
- I tried "sudo freshclam".
this is a mistake. freshclam process has to run under user "clamav" - you may have apparently created files which later instances of freshclam won't be able to remove/update. go to /var/lib/clamav, chown all files to clamav:clamav and let freshclam daemon do its work.
At first it worked but after 27 MB of download it stopped: Terminal-output: Apr 15 13:47:47 margret-ThinkPad-T430s freshclam[1505]: Wed Apr 15 13:47:47 2020 -> ^Download failed (28) Wed Apr 15 13:47:47 2020 -> ^ Message: Timeout was reached
slow internet connection probably? the default on debian is ReceiveTimeout 30 it's in seconds; you can increase it if really needed.

And every time it starts at 0 MB. So the update-process never ends. I´ve got no idea what can be done besides this: "For offline update, you can also directly download virus definition from database: main, daily and then put them into /var/lib/clamav (remove old files)." (see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/114000/how-to-update-clamav-definitions-database ). What´s your opinion about that?
