Not to move anyone to another package, but to offer another route if
you want to consider it. <br>
<br>
An option other than ClamAV is AVG, it works well, and is easy to
install.<br>
<br>
Grisoft has a Linux version of their AVG Virus Software<br>
The free version can be downloaded here<br>

They have a complete line of Anti-Virus Software for both the MS and
Linux worlds, I have used both version for years an like it much more
than Symantic ( Norton ) - McAfee etc.. It doesn't wind it's way down
into the heart of the OS, it is very stable and in my mind one of the
best Anti Virus packages out. If you prefer a paid version, theirs is
a very cost effective product with flavors to suit all applications and
sizes.<br>
<br>
More information can be had at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.grisoft.com">http://www.grisoft.com</a> if looking for a
one off copy of a basic AV for your Windows machine, then
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://free.grisoft.com">http://free.grisoft.com</a> The free versions don't include all of the
bells and whistles but work very well, run and update automatically.<br>

<pre wrap="">ClamAV is installed on my CentOS box. I edited the conf file and assumed all
is well. Clearly it isn't.
Every day I see in logwatch that my signatures are updated, and the database
notified, but if I try to scan a file manually it tells me that my signatures
are 55 days old.
I tried looking at a how-to, in the hope of identifying the problem, but it is
hopelessly out of date, and I reached the stage where it seemed that
following it any further risked my installation.
Can someone please give me a quick run-down of the things I should check.
Clearly freshclam is running, but that's about all I know for certain.
Thanks
Anne
