Re: clamav scan error

You have to download the clamav database manually from clamav's website: www.clamav.net and place the database in /var/lib/clamav ..

That's what I did and it worked.

OT: On a sidenote it's interesting to see the many posts about rootkits and viruses lately. My guess is that it is because of articles like this: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/scr … 6A000E4723

/usr/bin/clamscan -r / -l /tmp/clam_log

but if I do:

cat clam_log | grep -i infected

Infected files: 0
Infected files: 0
Infected files: 0
