I'm not sure when the latest update you're trying to pick up was issued, BUT I've also got this stuff running under windows and the mail gateway server and also for testing on my desktop computer. Yesterday afternoon, the desktop computer's freshclam update attempts continued failing and along with these failures I was getting Windows Defender alerts about an issue being detected with the onaccess Windows Defender scanning. When I dug into those reports, they pointed at a temp file in the clamav database directory that freshclam was creating during the unpacking/update process. The Windows Defender quarantine process interrupted the freshclam update... This may be happening to you... I added a Windows Defender exclusion form the clamav database directory and the updates subsequently succeeded. - Mark _______________________________________________ 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
