I only saw messages like Mar 7 16:41:18 pcict9 freshclam[1311]: Local version: 0.99.3 Recommended version: 0.99.4 Until I upgraded to a locally compiled 0.99.4 package. After that I didn't see such warnings anymore -- as expected. > >So, thanks Brian, for being the one reporting it.

The version strings "clamav-0.99.4" and "0.99.4" are not identical. The package that you installed seems to have been built with a wrong version string (including the phrase "clamav-"). How is your version shown by commands like "freshclam --version" or "clamscan --version"? ~$ freshclam --version ClamAV 0.99.4/24377/Fri Mar 9 10:13:20 2018 ~$ clamscan --version ClamAV 0.99.4/24377/Fri Mar 9 10:13:20 2018 In your case I would expect somthing like: ClamAV clamav-0.99.4/24377/Fri Mar 9 10:13:20 2018 Regards, Kees Theunissen. -- Kees Theunissen, System and network manager, Tel: +31 (0)40-3334724 Dutch Institute For Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) e-mail address: c.j.theunis...@differ.nl postal address: PO Box 6336, 5600 HH, Eindhoven, the Netherlands visitors address: De Zaale 20, 5612 AJ, Eindhoven, the Netherlands _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
