I really needed an upgrade! All freshclam errors are gone now. However I still have this one virus that ClamAV still thinks is clean. The online scanner says it's "Worm.SomeFool.P". Even when I take MailScanner out, unzip the file and scan it directly on the command line with clamscan, it still says it's clean. Any ideas why this might happen? cheers, Colin Colin A.

[Clamav-users] freshclam debugging help
Greetings, I've been using ClamAV for months without any problems. I use it in conjunction with MailScanner to scan our client's email. However today I noticed a plethora of messages being marked as "clean" but that really did have viruses attached. I posted them to the web-based checker and sure enough the virus database should be catching them. I'm thinking maybe my FreshClam isn't updating. So... Can someone tell me how to find out what database version I cam using? I searched the docs and manpages but couldn't find anything. And also can someone help me debug the following output from freshclam? cheers, Colin Colin A.
