The current version can be gotten from the dns txt record of current.cvd.clamav.net The command: dig +short current.cvd.clamav.net txt will return the one line with that information, which (after a little parsing) you can then compare with the version that your machines are running. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
