[Clamav-users] I'm having a strange problem ...

[Daniel A. Deitch]

I have ClamAV 0.82 installed on a Verio VPSv2 FreeBSD server … works fine … scans, cleans, deletes … the works.   My problem is with freshclam …   I have the following flag in my /etc/rc.conf file: clamav_freshclam_flags="--config-file=/usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf --checks=12 --datadir=/usr/local/share/clamav --daemon-notify=/usr/local/etc/clamav.conf --log=/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log"   Now, if you look at the freshclam.log, This is the entry every 2 hours: -------------------------------------- Received signal 14, wake up ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 24 15:09:12 2005 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!
