The cvd files show error code 1020. Thank you. This is Cloudfare "protecting" the ClamAV website. You can bypass it by sending a fake user agent string, like this: curl -A "Mozilla/5.0" http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd --output daily.cvd or using wget: wget --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0" http://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd'' No! Don’t “bypass” it. And “protecting” does not need to be in quotes, it’s quite literally what we are doing. And people doing the above are the problem. As I said in countless other emails, either use Freshclam or https://github.com/micahsnyder/cvdupdate. The more people that do the above will force us to take drastic measures. -- Joel Esler Manager, Communities Division Cisco Talos Intelligence Group http://www.talosintelligence.com | https://www.snort.org
