[EMAIL PROTECTED] wanted us to know:

>I just installed clamav for the first time today, so please bear with me.
>Although clamscan finds a lot of HTML naztyness, the Virus #1, I�m receiving
>Netsky.P totally gets away.

Clam named the virus SomeFool before the mainstream media latched onto
the name Netsky.  The Clam group does not change a name once it has
settled on it.

>I don�t know if it�s normal but freshclam is only downloading 2 files
>main.cvd (version 24), and daily.cvd (version 399)
>There are no viruses.db or viruses.db2 files..

That's normal.  The viruses.db and viruses.db2 files are from older
versions of clamav.

>I have put a sample of the Netsky.P virus at http://www.biodef.org/Viri if
>someone wants to see if their version catches it 

Take it down, it's already detected and has been for a long time.

Is the message a mail message?  If so, you need to use --mbox on the
commandline so that it knows to extract it out of an email format.  Also
make sure that your clamscan and clamd are using the same virus
databases as the ones that are being downloaded (ie your freshclam is
downloading to /var/lib/clamav and your binaries are trying to use
/usr/local/clamav/ or something like that).

This is a FAQ and is online somewhere, I just can't remember where.
