downloaded clamav and clam-db using install/remove software in opensuse 11.3 gnome.
tried to update virusdatabase typing freshclam in command-line
gives me this:

I have installed my first Ubuntu server today. It is connected to our corporate network. On this network there is a Windows 2008 R2 server that serves as DNS Exchange and file server. For some unknown reason this Windows server looses network connection when the ubuntu server comes online. After some investigation the network connection is instantly restored when I stop the clamav-freshclam service on the ubuntu server. When I start the service the network connection of the Windows server goes down.The only "link" with the Windows service and the Ubuntu server is that the Windows server is configure as the nameserver on the ubuntu server.
I want to run this in production because the ubuntu will serve as anti-spam server. I need to understand what is happing and why to prevent this.
I keep getting the message code...
I am not clear why clamd.log and freshclam keep changing permission and ownership to clamav.
Is set up a postfix, dovecot + clamav server as described in the wiki. I also use the freshclam update script in /etc/cron.daily/freshclam. But my problem is i get this error message every day:
/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
I have installed ClamAV 0.95.3 into Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) fully patched
I am behind an authenticating proxy, so I've entered these details into freshclam.conf:
HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
HTTPProxyPort 1234
HTTPProxyUsername myusername
HTTPProxyPassword mypass
code....
So I changed the perms to 0700 (user is clamav).
Now I get:
$ sudo freshclam
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
I checked DNS resolution with this (which I found in a thread somewhere):
# host database.clamav.net
database.clamav.net is an alias for db.local.clamav.net.
db.local.clamav.net is an alias for db.other.clamav.net.
db.other.clamav.net has address 193.1.193.64
db.other.clamav.net has address 130.59.10.36
- I presume the installation can find the update site?
When i run $ sudo freshclam I get this message ClamAV update process started at Sat Oct 9 12:21:22 2010 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

My Windows Installation is infected even with Eset installed! I don't know how to clean it. Already tried safe mode scan, but that doesn't even clean it. The only reason I installed ubuntu was so that I could download infected files without any conserns of my windows parition being infected. When ever I download a file, I move it to the NTFS partition from where windows can access it. But just about a week ago when I booted into Windows, my whole drive was infected, not only windows installed partition but also all my NTFS partition. Can anyone please tell me how can I CLEAN the files rather than qurantine all the files which CLAMAV does!
Also, what steps should I take in advance before downloading a virus infected file? I know the virus could've have gotten in when I disable eset for some software installation but it should clean after boot or after being booted.But there should be a way to clean all my NTFS partition .... how? I don't know how to used CLAMAV properly because whenever I try to scan anything, it always returns with '0 files scan' because I think the directory scan doesn't work the way it should!
I've had previous versions of Clam running and have kept the system uptodate with regular yum updates.
this recently upgraded ClamAV and this will not now start. code...
From googling all i seem to find that it's a make error, but this is a binary install!
I've removed and reinstalled also.
I have a server im trying to use with clamAV to scan it all and with cron job. it worked fine for few days, sending me emails with reports, i was happy. now i get ERR emails and when running manually i get the follwing message output: Script: clamav-cron v. 0.6 - Copyright 2009, Stefano Stagnaro Scanned: /

This started happening sometime yesterday afternoon on a server that's been trouble free for years.
My Ubuntu update is scheduled to run every month on the 5th, so this was roughly 10 days after that. So it seems to me it's not update related. The only thing I've done on the server lately is update a spamassassin rule which required an amavis restart. That was done earlier in the week.
I've already reviewed issues at [url] and all the conditions are correct for the more recent How to.
I can also confirm that, in fact, /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl does not exist.
I have two servers complaining about ClamAV being outdated:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.96.1 Recommended version: 0.96.3
Doing an aptitude update says I don't have to upgrade anything. Why is this? Must ClamAV be updated manually?
I find it incredible that installing and running reputable software such as Clamav on my system should be a major problem. I have openSUSE 11.3 with kde 4.5.2 desktop and when I try and install clamav using Yast the files are downloaded into old kde3 directory and nothing works.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have installed Clamav using the install/remove software utility but it doesn't show up in the Applications menu. I tired to run it from usr/bin folder but still no go.

Which I take to mean that there are no virus definitions installed. I use the "freshclam" command. Which results in the following error:

On a new machine (Ubuntu 10.04.2), the freshclam program (in the package clamav-freshclam version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2) won't do updates. It fails on DNS queries. DNS is working for other programs OK. Diagnosis with tcpdump shows that it is sending the queries to 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual DNS servers designated in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Of course it won't get an answer because it is querying the wrong IP address. There is a --no-dns option which I tried, but that doesn't help. Any idea if freshclam or clamav needs its own config of DNS servers?

Do I need to tell ot what the DNS servers are, somewhere?
Why would it query only 127.0.0.1 for DNS?
I got my version of clamav working and it's fully updated. Problem is I can't seem to get my LibClamAV to function correctly. The output of #freshclam works But when I do: #service clamd.amavisd restart
This is the error:
LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. ***
LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq ***

My version is updtodate and I am unsure why the error. I am using amavisd-new-2.5.2 (20070627) and Clamav 0.95.3
I can install clamav from SBo no problem, but the version is outdated. I downloaded the newer source code from clamav's site, edited the slackbuild to reflect the new version number, and rebuilt the package. But I get this following error when building.
Config files are installed in the proper places (except the file /etc/clamd.conf.rej referred to below which doesn't exist). But the binaries clamd and freshclam aren't installed anywhere.

When I log on a root and attempt to issue the command Freshclam to upgrade the virus definitions it attempts or create a new file with a definition name. I get a message stating that the directory isnt writable. The user and group access rights are as follows:
USER = read, write, execute
Group = read, write, execute
All= read, execute.
The only way I can get around this is by applying a 777 which would be read, write and execute for all. Now, I have a group define with several user ids in it including Root.How do I connect the group with the directory/file so I dont have to apply a 777 access right to group users could issue the Freshclam command.
I have installed CLAMAV in Fedora 11 and when I try to update it says update failed I have tried to find a reason why but unfortunately I am lost. Sony VAIO VGN TXHP1 laptop Fedora 11 Gnome i1568 Wireless connection seems fine.

My probles consists in that i have no idea on how update the clamav. I downloaded it throu center of software. Butt when i try to upgrade it from the gui the upgrading bar reaches only 15% and desapears. I tried do type freshclam from root command line but it just writes that there is not such command. May be i use incorrectly the command line.
