First question hopefully someone from ClamAV can answer... When a new cdiff is released, is a new daily.cvd also released at the same time? I would assume so, but best to get this question answered clearly than continue to speculate.
Second, I don't think doing a manual flush of the cached file after uploading a new daily.cvd would hurt (since the file has been changed anyhow), but it would be interesting to do some investigating to see if there is any change on Paul's end if he still ends up seeing the cached copy (which would then definitely point to an ISP issue) or if the matter resolves itself. As for comcast (or any ISP) tech support, simply request to be bumped up to the next support tier / level. That usually gets you from a person that is just repeating questions from a screen to an actual individual with some technical knowledge of how their system works. Also if you do find someone that knows their stuff, ask for their direct # so you can contact them in the future if you have any other issues. As someone else mentioned, it doesn't really matter how many times per-day freshclam is running, it's merely doing a small DNS query to see if there is an update or not. No update = no file transfer. The DNS query itself is probably less than 100 bytes. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list [email protected] 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
