Only the virus definitions are updated, not the program itself eg from freshcam.log Received signal 14, wake up ClamAV update process started at Tue Feb 15 09:19:14 2005 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!

No need to uninstall first, this is only necessary if you are messing with different sources, precompiled RPM etc Your .conf files will remain untouched write a script install_clamav and put your commands in there, then next time you only have to edit the version number. -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com ----------------- _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
