Clam AV Database
« on: January 21, 2008, 10:28:56 PM »
I've just updated from7.2 to 7.3.  Everything seems to work fine, but I just noticed something and have a question.  When I look at the Antivirus Settings Tab in Server-Manager,  I see the following details under 'ClamAV and bd versions' :  '' 0.92/5110/Wed Dec 12 21:42:31 2007 ''

Does this mean that the antivirus definitions are not up-to-date, or does the date refer to the Clam program itself?  If so, how can I manually update?  I have already tried restarting the server.

Sorry, I don't know if this is a bug or not.

I can't say when I last checked the date of the virus definitions ( I think I used to get e-mails from the server with earlier versions) so it may have nothing to do with the update.

The system auto updates the definitions quite regularly.
At the command prompt do
freshclam
to manually update

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your reply.

I ran the command as you suggested, and now it is showing today's date.
