The CPU may peg at 100% during this time also. If I recall, it was due to an incompatibility with newer pattern files. The fix is to upgrade. The easy way to do it is to install from etch volatile. I suggest adding the etch volatile source to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main Then: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key BBE55AB3 gpg --armor --export BBE55AB3 | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam (and any other modules you may need). At least, this is how I would do it. YMMV. If you are already using latest version from volatile, then I dunno.

Re: [Clamav-users] ClamAV not starting up on Debian Etch
Thank you Gary, You were perfectly right. I was running 0.90.1, so I updated to 0.95.2 using Etch backports, and clamav-daemon started right away.

If you have not considered volatile, I think it's worth a look. Its whole purpose in life is to make newer versions of a few programs (like clamav and spamassassin) available to a stable release. With lenny, the lenny volatile package source is now included in /etc/apt/sources.list when the system is installed. Who knows, maybe the problem you experienced was one of the reasons it's now included, considering that the version of clamav included in etch broke after some time. http://www.debian.org/volatile/ Gary V _ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469227/direct/01/ ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
