Thanks.
What are you trying to accomplish? By default in Debian freshclam is run as a daemon and regularly updates the virus signatures. If you want to run it by hand for some reason, you'll need to stop the daemon first: sudo service clamav-freshclam stop Don't forget to start it again afterwards or your system will get out of date.
