Some days ago I tried to set PhisingScanURLs to no but after that clamav
failed to restart. My clamav version is 0.90.3. Does this means that an
upgrade is needed?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd reload
Stopping Clam AntiVirus Daemon: [ OK ]
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: ERROR: Parse error at line 234: Unknown
option PhishingScanURLs.
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamd.conf
