You could at least have subscribed to the announcements list. This is from two months ago and is especially relevant to you: https://blog.clamav.net/2021/09/changes-to-clamav-end-of-life-policy.html See also https://blog.clamav.net/2020/07/freshclam-cdiffs-effect-on-bandwidth.html https://blog.clamav.net/2021/04/clamav-01032-security-patch-release.html https://blog.clamav.net/2021/11/clamav-01034-and-01041-patch-releases.html If you'd read these you'd have been warned well in advance and there'd have been no need to grumble on this list that something which you get for free (and which is apparently rather important to you) has stopped working because you didn't bother to maintain it properly.
its frustrating that we're blaming network connectivity instead of that its too old ...
Your interpretation of
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! WARNING: Local version: 0.101.2 Recommended version: 0.103.4 DON'T PANIC! Read https://www.clamav.net/documents/upgrading-clamav
differs from mine. Please also look at https://www.debian.org/News/2020/20200709 which tells you that long-term support for Debian 8 (Jessie) ended more than a year ago. There is little excuse for running Debian 8 sixteen months after its end of life. If you absolutely must run it, then at least have the good grace to understand the implications and for heaven's sake take this stuff seriously. If you don't, you're a problem for the rest of us just waiting to happen. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
