Dear ClamAV users, our logs show that there is still a small percentage of ClamAV 0.60 installations updating their database.
ClamAV 0.60 was released on July 29th, 2003 and it was the last release to use the old database format (viruses.db and viruses.db2). Starting from version 0.65, released on November 12nd, ClamAV uses a new database format called CVD, which is compressed and digitally signed (for a full list of its features, read the doc). The new database can be converted to the old format using sigtool (part of the ClamAV package). We have been distributing the database in both formats till now, but we plan to drop support for ClamAV 0.60 on September 1st. It will be still possible to convert the database to the legacy format but we won't be distributing it through our mirrors. We encourage _all_ users to upgrade to the latest release available. People running an old version of ClamAV are missing many viruses and may experience stability problems. You have more than 1 month to update your system. Please find the latest source package at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clamav or grab the latest binary package for your distribution at http://www.clamav.net/binary.html#pagestart The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) -- Luca Gibelli ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - http://www.ClamAV.net - A GPL virus scanner PGP Key Fingerprint: C782 121E 8C3A 90E3 7A87 D802 6277 8FF4 5EFC 5582 PGP Key Available on: Key Servers || http://www.clamav.net/gpg/nervoso.gpg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
