When I run freshclam I get the following error.
Clamd was NOT notified: Can't find or parse configuration file /var/lib/clamav/cl

Anybody have any idea how to fix it. :?:

Re: freshclam (clamav) error ???

I'm getting a Parse error when running freshclam as well.  Problem started occurring after a system upgrade.  clamd fails to start at system boot.

ERROR: Parse error at line 85: Option NotifyClamd requires string argument.
ERROR: Parse error at line 34: Option LogTime requires boolean argument.
ERROR: Can't parse the config file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

Anyone else having freshclam woes?

I just tried and had the same problem, after fixing the config file as suggested it works fine.
Either comment the affected rows out (# infront) and it'll use the default setting, or change it as necessary (see man clamd.conf and man freshclam.conf)

Re: freshclam (clamav) error ???

[vEX] thanks for the tip!  I removed & re-installed clamav using pacman and then reconfigured (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … rus_ClamAV)

Working great once again
