Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in
/etc/freshclam.conf is working. Check
http://www.clamav.net/support/mirror-problem for possible
reasons.
So I want to fix it | Step | Terminal Command | What it is doing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
service clamd stop |
Shutdown clam so clamd.socket file is removed |
| 2 |
cd /var/clamav |
Navigate to clamav folder |
| 3 |
rm -f /var/clamav/* |
Remove ALL files from folder to provide
clean slate for update process (you could skip the -f & confirm every file delete for safety) |
| 4 |
service clamd start |
Restart clam |
| 5 |
freshclam -v |
Update sigs |
If you are bandwidth poor or on slow connection then don't delete main.cvd
