The error you're referring to has been fixed in 0.100.1. Unfortunately, unless you enable ipv6 for your computer/network, you'll have to live with the error until you're able to upgrade to 0.100.1.

Trying to solve:
ERROR: Can't create new socket: Address family not supported by protocol

Running Centos 7. Clamav from yum package.

A few weeks ago I noticed getting this error when freshclam runs It does not happen every time freshclam runs, but instead, it only appears to happen when there is a new signature to download. I can't tell how to fix it. Grateful for any help.

I am out of sync on the latest version:
Mon Jul 16 09:38:52 2018 -> Software version from DNS: 0.100.1
Mon Jul 16 09:38:52 2018 -> WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
Mon Jul 16 09:38:52 2018 -> WARNING: Local version: 0.100.0 Recommended version: 0.100.1

I'm trying to stay with the distribution's packages. I was however still getting the error when I was in sync. Seems the version went to 0.100.1 from 0.100.0 right after the package got updated.
