Yesterday afternoon, the desktop computer's freshclam update attempts continued

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.
Thanks for the idea, but it wasn't that. The ClamAV directory was not
being scanned by any other virus scanner, and surely, even if it was,
that wouldn't cause Freshclam to download an out-dated daily.cvd file
The problem 'magically' disappeared as soon as the 26522 update was
published, so, to me, it really looks as if there were bad files on one
of the mirrors. The later update would have replaced that with a correct
file, so it all works again.
