My problem is with freshclam ... the problem has been occurring since 0.80, 0.81, 0.82 and 0.82_1 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signal 14, wake up ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 24 15:09:12 2005 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!
