Stop freshclam. Then check the output of ps to see if you have another one still running from a previous install. Looking at the log output, it looks like you have two separate processes running. One that wakes up every 30 minutes at 22 after and 52 after. The other that wakes up at half-past (at least, there's not enough log output to confirm the pattern). The entries are very regular except that the OUTDATED entries don't follow that pattern. Could it be that you did not stop freshclam before doing the upgrade, and there's still an old version running in memory? -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
