Thanks for any consideration of the problem, but I found the solution.

sudo freshclam command is used for updating your antivirus database,
which cannot be run while another instance (auto update) is already
running.


That's right.  If that doesn't sound like what I said, you need to
think a bit more about what you're doing.

Thanks for any consideration of the problem, but I found the solution.

sudo freshclam command is used for updating your antivirus database, which 
cannot be run while another instance (auto update) is already running.

Stop auto uptade process: sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop

Run manual update: sudo freshclam

Re-Start auto update process: sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start

I found this on: 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/880253/sudo-freshclam-not-working-error-cant-open-var-log-clamav-freshclam-log-in-a#880282

Thanks again.

This happened after an OS update. I have Pop! OS (version of Ubuntu)
and it is 20.04. Before the update, everything was working fine. I
purged all files related to clamav and freshclam and reinstalled
with no change.


Presumably you're not asking about the warning, but about the errors.

Do you already have a freshclam daemon running?  It would not be at
all unusual for an OS would start one at boot.  Use 'top' or 'ps' or
whatever tool you're familiar with to check for the existence of a
freshclam process.  If you have one running already you can either let
it do its job, or kill it and start another one.

If that doesn't seem to be the problem let us know.  See mail of mine
to this list in the last day or so for a bit more about freshclam, or
Read The Fine Manual.

Wouldn't surprise me (nor concern me) in the least, but that's just
between me and Google - largely because I see Google as the seccond
biggest problem on the Internet (at the moment, after Microsoft).


Very hard to work out what is going on when you only see one side!


If I wanted to delve into it more I'd probably record the conversation
e.g. with tcpdump and then look at it with Wireshark (although I'm not
sure what that will tell you that you don't already know).

FWIW when I was using safebrowsing I don't remember seeing it catch
anything in the mail stream here, so I didn't mourn its loss.

I have to wonder why bother when Safari most other macOS browsers already use 
Google SafeBrowsing to screen for fraudulent websites, as long as you leave it 
enabled.

Did it really fail for nearly three months or did you just not try often?
If the former perhaps better mention that in the Github issue, otherwise
it's probably best to close it.

Thanks for replying Ged.

Yes, running on macOS.

Yes I redacted some of the key in the URL.

Everything looks fine on console.cloud.google.com.

Just tried it again and it worked:

after the URL POST request the log continues with:


2021-07-02 19:03:42,442 DEBUG:UpdateClient:retrieving threats updates success
2021-07-02 19:03:42,445 INFO:UpdateClient:processing changes for

2021-07-02 19:03:43,836 DEBUG:UpdateClient:rm 000464f4 :: 000464f4

etc.

Not sure what was causing the problem.

Glad it’s working now (for the moment anyway).

Thanks again for your help.

James.

It seems you're running on a Mac but you don't mention that in your
mail.  In your mail, which AFAICT was sent on 2 July 2021, you say

"It worked yesterday ..."

yet the log gives the date at 8th April 2021 and your Github issue is
from the same date.

The posted log line which I haven't trimmed contains

...Updates:fetch?key=AIwzaSyTheRestOfMyKeyc=json

which looks like either you've redacted some of the text without
telling us or you're sending an invalid request.  Either way, it
appears that the request is being dropped by the server as the
connection attempts (and retries) are failing.

Perhaps you can clarify all the above.

I should say that I haven't used safebrowsing since it was dropped
from ClamAV's database servers in 2019; I've never tried to use the
Python scripts.
