I must have been looking at this incorrectly. Whenever I open Clam, I manually check for updates, and it always tells me that there are none. I must spend too much time in Windows land, because I've associated the lack of a system tray icon with a lack of activity. Now that I look more closely, I see /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam and /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log Thanks for pointing that out. On a happier note, I didn't have to dig through all of creation to see where a process is designated as "run on start" like when chasing down Windows issues. It's also nice not to have to hunt for logs. A place for everything, and most everything in its place. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
