>Have you installed any previous version of ClamAV? In particular, have you previously installed any version 0.104 release candidate? Are you aware that a release candidate is not ready for production use - especially a 0.104 release candidate - and that there may be things in the package which do not behave as might be expected? I have never had a version of ClamAv on this machine. This was a first time installation. Yes, I do realize this is a pre-production release and I'm OK with it having things that might not work as expected. I'm grateful there is even a Mac OS installer as I don't want to use homebrew or Xcode on this system. I also ran through the configuration instructions with suggested creating these files. I'll do an uninstall and try again. output of clamconf: Checking configuration files in /usr/local/clamav/etc clamd.conf not found freshclam.conf not found clamav-milter.conf not found Software settings ----------------- Version: 0.104.0-rc2 Optional features supported: AUTOIT_EA06 BZIP2 LIBXML2 PCRE2 ICONV JSON Database information -------------------- Database directory: /usr/local/clamav/share/clamav WARNING: freshclam.conf and clamd.conf point to different database directories print_dbs: Can't open directory /usr/local/clamav/share/clamav Platform information -------------------- uname: Darwin 20.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.6.0: Wed Jun 23 00:26:27 PDT 2021; root arm64 OS: Darwin, ARCH: arm64, CPU: arm64 zlib version: 1.2.11 (1.2.11), compile flags: a9 platform id: 0x04038c8c0800000000040201 Build information ----------------- Clang: Apple LLVM 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.11) (4.2.1) sizeof(void*) = 8 Engine flevel: 140, dconf: 140 On Mon, Aug 30, 2021 at 8:01 AM <clamav-users-requ...@lists.clamav.net> wrote: > Send clamav-users mailing list submissions to > clamav-users@lists.clamav.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > clamav-users-requ...@lists.clamav.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > clamav-users-ow...@lists.clamav.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of clamav-users digest..." > When responding, please don't respond with the entire Digest.
