I have done some further testing, and I am blocking Somefool and
Somefool.B, but I am not blocking variant P.

FWIW, this same thing happened to me when I upgraded from Clam .60 to
the
latest version. Apparently I installed it in a different place so
there were
two version of my daily updates and it wasn't using the new one. Are
you
sure your virus signatures are being updated and include the SomeFool.P
variant? Run "sigtool --list | grep SomeFool" to see if it's listed.


cheers,
Colin

I ran the command above, and here are the results:

Worm.Somefool
Worm.Somefool.B
Worm.Somefool.B.2
Worm.Somefool.D
Worm.Somefool.E
Worm.Somefool.F

These ones are all working. How can I get freshclam to get the P
variant file?

Thanks,
Jeff

As has been implied earlier, double check your /etc/clamav.conf or /etc/clamd.conf and verify the DatabaseDirectory matches the DatabaseDirectory entry in /etc/freshclam.conf. Also, make sure that when freshclam is run, it is using the freshclam.conf file or explicitly sets the database directory via the command line to the place you think it should be.

Here's what mine has in it for SomeFool:

Worm.SomeFool.Gen-unp
Worm.SomeFool.O
Worm.SomeFool.P
Worm.SomeFool.P-dll
Worm.SomeFool.Q
Worm.SomeFool.N
Worm.SomeFool.R
Worm.SomeFool.Q.2
Worm.SomeFool
Worm.SomeFool.B
Worm.SomeFool.B.2
Worm.SomeFool.D
Worm.SomeFool.E
Worm.SomeFool.F
Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1
Worm.SomeFool.Gen-2
Worm.SomeFool.I
Worm.SomeFool.K
Worm.SomeFool.L
Worm.SomeFool.M

-Bill
It is using the same DatabaseDirectory for both. I still see only the same variants of Somefool that I listed above with the sigtool command. Any other tips?

Thanks, Jeff
