Hi Michael,

How much free user disk space do you have ?

I had this sort of problem when I ran out of disk space.

The database files need to be uncompressed to apply the daily diffs so you need at least 3 Gig of user disk space free in the database directory.

Regards
        Mark.

I am running the freshclam.exe like this:

PS C:\Users\m.wang> \\xxx\clamav\bin\freshclam.exe --datadir \\xxx\clamav\bin\database

and I got the following error:

ERROR: updatedb: *Can't rename* \\xxx\clamav\bin\database\tmp.78a757d3cf\clamav-57fd2bf1f4d6d423e4896f0ef3e97c52.tmp-daily.cvd to daily.cv <http://daily.cv>
d: *File exists*

I am thinking of removing the *.cvd files before running freshclam, but is there an option to make freshclam to override the existing old *.cvd files? Thanks.

Full log:
