Thank you for your reply! Ok, as I type this, I'm at the part where you have written as follows:"Once the search has finished (it might find several directories/files) open the file as normal."
I have the freshclam.conf open and it shows 24 files - but none of them have the word "normal" in them. Am I correctly understanding what you mean?
sudo freshclam
sudo rm /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
sudo rm -rf /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
sudo freashclam
I ran into the same problem and this is what I did and it worked for me.......again to have it time out.Using the file manager, logged in as root, I found and edited the freshclam.conf file changing ConnectTimeout to 300 and RecieveTimeout to 300. I also changed Checks to 6 but that's me, you don't have to do this. The idea behind changing the timeouts was due to the awsomely great and fantastic internet we get here in Oz, I figured it was taking too long to download the DB's and freshclam times out for me.I ran Code: [Select]sudo freshclam again and the DB finished downloading and passed checksMoments ago I ran Code: [Select]sudo freshclam and got Code: [Select]Sun Mar 8 12:22:47 2020 -> ClamAV update process started at Sun Mar 8 12:22:47 2020Sun Mar 8 12:22:47 2020 -> daily.cvd database is up to date (version: 25744, sigs: 2210896, f-level: 63, builder: raynman)Sun Mar 8 12:22:47 2020 -> main.cvd database is up to date (version: 59, sigs: 4564902, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)Sun Mar 8 12:22:47 2020 -> bytecode.cvd database is up to date (version: 331, sigs: 94, f-level: 63, builder: anvilleg)

How did you initially install clamav? Sent from my Mobile phone using TapatalkWell, truth be told, that's where I messed up initially, Jerry. After installing the new 4.8 and downloading the updates, I went to the Synaptics Folder and started downloading the clamav from there. I think I might have checked off some folders that I should not have checked. When I ran into problems I checked the forum and saw where you referred another user to the clamav tutorial, which is very straight forward and easy to follow. Afterward I thought maybe I should just do a fresh re-install of 4.8 and overwrite the existing one. I started to do that but got nervous when I came to the re-partitioning part and wasn't sure how to proceed in overwriting it. By then it was close to 2 am. I thought it was best to shut things down at that point before I did something really stupid.
The Help Manual has the best-practice guide specifically designed for Linux Lite.
sudo apt purge clamav
sudo apt install clamav
sudo apt install clamav clamav-daemon clamav-docs libclamunrar9 daemon clamdscan

Could have just been a server issue on that day.Try: https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues/90Sent from my Mobile phone using Tapatalk Hi Jerry, Thanks for your reply. I tried loading clamav again today, and although it came from a different server, I got the same ERROR messages as before. Actually, there are four ERROR messages in total and they are as follows:ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another processERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateFileLog = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log)ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam unit failedERROR: Initialization errorAlso, I tried the https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues/90. It downloaded fine, but the clamav does not show up as an application, so am unable to execute the download. I checked the Synaptics Manager folder and clamav and clamav-daemon show up as installed programs there, but nowhere else. So, maybe this program is partially installed

Noticed one issue - clamav cannot update sigs because the log file directory is missing.If you run sudo freshclam you get error:-Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append modeAs root I created /var/log/clamav, then:-chown -R clamav:clamav /var/log/clamavfreshclam now updates sigs OK.
Its a long time since I've been to these forums, but I just installed 4.8 on my old windows 7 laptop. I'm trying to install the clamav antivirus as instructed in the help manual. Despite receiving the ERROR message and typing in the sudo rm -rf /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log command, I repeatedly get the reply: "can't download daily.cvd from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd. Download failed. Time out was reached. Remote version 25742.Has anyone else ran into this problem?
