 It turned out to be not exactly a clamav problem, but a clamtk problem.  I

 very helpful.  This morning I have confirmed to him that the problem is
 fixed.

 Ok, so it dawned on me what the problem likely is... ClamAV has
 several methods for signatures it uses: daily.info folder, daily and
 main.cvd, daily and main.cld. So, I'm thinking you have more than one
 of those in your signatures directory.

 If you open up a terminal window and type ls /var/clamav (without
 quotes of course), I'm betting you'll see a variety of files and/or
 directories in there. If you're up for it, as root type
 rm /var/clamav/* -rf
 which will remove all the signatures. Don't worry, you'll get them
 back in the next step. As root, type
 freshclam -v
 And that will download all the necessary signatures again.

 The problem I have is there are a variety of ways the linux distros
 package ClamAV, and I have to decide which ones to gather the
 information from... I thought I had it right, but your email is making
 me reconsider. :)
 /quote

 I do wonder if something changed in clamav since I first installed it.  I
 remember that an update installed, and I did, for a couple of days, get a
 message that the database could not be notified of updated signatures.  I
 can't remember how that one got resolved.  Perhaps /var/clamav was left
 with an old version and a new version of the database, and was reading the
 old one.

This morning I wanted to make a change in the server's BIOS, so I had to 
reboot, and hit problems.  Bootup got to 'self-checking in 1800 seconds' and 
appeared to hang there.  I did leave it for some considerable time, but it 
didn't move on.  Eventually I used ssh to kill clamd and the boot continued.

I will be away from home for several days, so I need to get this sorted.  I 
presume that it is a mis-configuration somewhere that's causing it.  Can 
someone please advise me what to look for?  Thanks

  I think clamscan looks for the db files in a compiled-in default
  location of /usr/local/share/clamav and doesn't consult the clamd.conf or
  freshclam.conf files (after all, why would it?)

 It does at least open freshclam.conf (which means that that one must be
 *readable* by the user running clamscan:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$strace -eopen clamscan

 The message about signatures being ancient comes from ClamTK virus scanner.

OK, thanks.  I'll do some googling.  As far as I can remember, it was 
installed along with the rest from rpmforge.  I'm certain I didn't download 
it from any other than my installed repos.

As far as you can tell, then, clamav is working correctly?  That's a comfort.  
Thanks for your help.

2008-06-17 Thread John Plemons
Not to move anyone to another package, but to offer another route if you 
want to consider it.


An option other than ClamAV is AVG, it works well, and is easy to install.

Grisoft has a Linux version of their AVG Virus Software
The free version can be downloaded here

ftp://ftp.grisoft.cz/pub/softw/70free/setup/

They have a complete line of Anti-Virus Software for both the MS and 
Linux worlds, I have used both version for years an like it much more 
than Symantic ( Norton ) - McAfee etc..  It doesn't wind it's way down 
into the heart of the OS, it is very stable and in my mind one of the 
best Anti Virus packages out.  If you prefer a paid version, theirs is a 
very cost effective product with flavors to suit all applications and sizes.


More information can be had at http://www.grisoft.com  if looking for a 
one off copy of a basic AV for your Windows machine, then 
http://free.grisoft.com  The free versions don't include all of the 
bells and whistles but work very well, run and update automatically.

Mine's the latter.


rpmforge.


Ah - looking more deeply, my source was configured without 
--with-dbdir=/var/lib/clamav which is why it defaulted to looking in 
/usr/local/share/clamav


Now rebuilt with the --with-dbdir option, and everything's looking in 
the correct place.

 An option other than ClamAV is AVG, it works well, and is easy to install.

 Grisoft has a Linux version of their AVG Virus Software
 The free version can be downloaded here

 They have a complete line of Anti-Virus Software for both the MS and
 Linux worlds, I have used both version for years an like it much more
 than Symantic ( Norton ) - McAfee etc..  It doesn't wind it's way down
 into the heart of the OS, it is very stable and in my mind one of the
 best Anti Virus packages out.  If you prefer a paid version, theirs is a
 very cost effective product with flavors to suit all applications and
 sizes.

 More information can be had at http://www.grisoft.com  if looking for a
 one off copy of a basic AV for your Windows machine, then
 http://free.grisoft.com  The free versions don't include all of the
 bells and whistles but work very well, run and update automatically.

I'll be checking out all the other suggestions, but I'll also look at this, 
thanks.

Just to add my plug here - I've been using AVG Free on Win for a long,
long time, and I've been really pleased with it.  Their recent update
from 7.5 to 8.0 is badly advertised (from the update page it /looks/
like you have to /pay/ for the new version, but from the above link,
there is aplace to get it for free.  This is particularly good because
the old version will no longer work after June 25, so I get to upgrade
everything before then.

Now if I could just convince the Win addicts in my family to go to
CentOS, we could dispense with that altogether (except for the VMWare
guests), but I don't have everywhere yet in which to put
everything
