I assume you mean version, rather than binary. In theory the answer is that you're already behind on protection so you need to upgrade as soon as possible. > 2.How quickly will clamscan or clamdscan warn me that I am using an older > binary.

[Clamav-users] How quickly do I need to upgrade when a new version is released and when do warnings appear
Hi, I'm new to using clam and I've got a few questions I was hoping I could get answered.I had a quick look around the FAQ, documentation and mail list archives but didn't find information on these questions. 1. When a new binary is released. How quickly will I need to update to it before I might be unprotected from the latest viruses. Is it usually a matter or days/weeks/months? 2.How quickly will clamscan or clamdscan warn me that I am using an older binary. I'm assuming something will be output when i run clamscan or clamdscan. Is this assumption correct? Does this only occur once the virus database contains virus signatures that aren't supported with the older binary. 3.Will clamscan/clamdscan only start outputting warnings once the virus database is 7 days out of date. Is there any way to configure when this message starts appearing. Say for example can I make it appear after 3 days? thanks very much for your help Sandeep ___ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question?
