Hi all,
In ClamAV 0.102, the ReceiveTimeout should be set to `0` to disable it so the
download completes on a slower connection. We made this change in the default
on 0.102.2, but for 0.102.1, you will need to set it to `0` manually if you
encounter this issue. Also some distros seem to provide a freshclam.conf where
the ReceiveTimeout is set. 0.102.2 users may also have to change the conf in
this case.
Matus, it's okay to run `sudo freshclam`. Freshclam will switch to the
DatabaseOwner ("clamav") account to do the update.
Regards,
Micah

why? linux users rarely need antivirus.

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.

slow internet connection probably?
the default on debian is
ReceiveTimeout 30
it's in seconds; you can increase it if really needed.
