Edit the freshclam.conf and clamd.conf files and uncomment the User

if you are using Apple's default location.
Please see earlier discussion - this is a compile time setting.
Whoever
built these binaries for the OPs system did it with --user=0 or some
other thing. The binaries will need to be recompiled, or he'll
need to
find a way to get a user 0 recognized by getpwnam.
With due respect, not only I was part of the earlier discussion, I
even quoted the portion of the source code which generates the
warning message the OP was having problems with, and tested that
uncommenting the options I mentioned allowed one to use the vendor-
supplied freshclam or clamscan binaries as the root user:
6# grep DatabaseOwner freshclam.conf
# DatabaseOwner clamav
7# freshclam
ERROR: Can't get information about user 0.
8# emacs freshclam.conf # uncomment the
DatabaseOwner line
9# grep DatabaseOwner freshclam.conf
DatabaseOwner clamav
10# freshclam
