The "Software version from DNS" is intended to display the most recent patch
version. If it is higher than your current version, you get a very loud
warning recommending an upgrade.
Since we changed our end-of-life policy and introduced LTS versions, we've
decided to have the version from DNS set to most recent security patch version
for the oldest supported release. So right now, that's 0.103.11.
In the future, I would like to store the latest versions for every release in
the DNS TXT record, and then have it show you the most recent patch version for
your release. Or if your release is no longer supported, I'd like to have it
present you with a list of supported versions and recommend an upgrade.

Subject: Re: [clamav-users] Software version from DNS: 0.103.11, but version is
1.3.0?
Thanks for your answer. And, no we do not have any further version
installed. This happens on several systems.
Therefore our question.
Here is our research:
sudo dpkg -l | grep clam
ii clamav 1.3.0-1 amd64 ClamAV open source email, web, and
end-point anti-virus toolkit.
sudo which clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
sudo /usr/local/sbin/clamd --version
ClamAV 1.3.0/27207/Thu Mar 7 10:27:12 2024
which freshclam
/usr/local/bin/freshclam
sudo /usr/local/bin/freshclam --version
ClamAV 1.3.0/27207/Thu Mar 7 10:27:12 2024
sudo systemctl status clamav-daemon.service
● clamav-daemon.service

Process: 1200 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/freshclam -d -c 4 -l
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 1364 (freshclam)
Tasks: 1 (limit: 9304)

CGroup: /system.slice/clam-freshclam.service
└─1364 /usr/local/bin/freshclam -d -c 4 -l
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
Your thinking was also our first thought, therefore we cleaned long time
before the systems with all old clamav progs.
Kindly Regards,
