Topic: CLAMAV: md5 sum not found on remote server

[mardek01]

Hi,

I am using clamav since a year. worked fine. But the last month I am getting this message in my mailbox, every hour.

Seems that there is something wrong with the MD5 check. Are there more people having this problem? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

You need to upgrade your Clamav Version.

Since release >= 0.7 the viri database format changed.

This How-to will guide you to upgrade your version:
