I had this occur once when testing firewall config it blocks you if you keep trying over and over. Wait 24 hours so not to try again before the time expires and it should work again if you don’t it will start all over again

Hi Steve,
The error is:
Your network is explicitly denied by the
fresh clam CDN.
In order to rectify this please check that
you are:
a. Running an up-to-date version of fresh
clam
b. Running fresh clam no more than once an
hour
c. If you have checked a and b, please open
a ticket at bugzilla.clamav.net under the
mirrors component and we will investigate while your
network is blocked. ERROR: Database uptech process failed:
forbidden, blocked by CDN.
ERROR: Update failed.
Seems to me last time I checked clamav.net,
that URL was down completely, or bugzilla was down at
least.
So how do I fix that CDN error which is
prohibiting downloads?
Thanks,
Dave

Subject: [clamav-users] Help with ClamWin AV Definitions
Hello,
I have seen postings on various places
about ClamWin Antivirus definitions not working
lately. It looks to me like a certificate that was
set up to allow Windoze permissions to access the
database on some Linux Server has expired as of last
year, and therefore, definitions do not
automatically (or manually) download. I am feeling
very computer illiterate at this point, but I am
sure some of you have a solution for how an old
Windows user can get their machines to update the
Clamwin Antivirus definitions either manually or
automatically.
I used to write to one of the ClamWin
administrators "Alex" when I needed help, but with
most of the ClamWin stuff on Sourceforge taken down,
he is no longer reachable either.
Can someone please tell me in precise
detail how to update the virus definitions on a
dozen different Windows computers of various ages
(Win98SE thru Win 11). A complete list of steps
please. Do I need a local Linux server to do this,
or can I just pull them off of a server already
existing by changing some local settings?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Dave

ClamWin probably uses an outdated
engine.
You maybe able to use their updated
engine from here....
eg. clamav-1.5.2-legacy-x64.7z
"You can use updated version of
clamav binaries with ClamWin, download 32bit
version, extract and replace all files in ClamWin
bin directory, you also need to replace
clamwin.zip in the ClamWin lib folder with this
one."
Obviously this doesn't use the
official engine so you'll probably need to get
more help here...
Cheers,
Steve
