It looks like my problem was caused by having freshclam run a script after an update using the OnUpdateExecute line in freshclam.conf. The script created a file containing the EICAR pattern and then scanned it with cat /tmp/eicar.com | /usr/local/bin/clamscan --quiet - Once I removed the clamscan command, the error went away. This command worked okay in previous versions. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
