There is no "database1.cvd"... The 4 you listed are the only official
ones. So unless you made a mistake editing the config file, I'm not
really sure what it's trying to do.

You don't need to mess with the mirrors or anything. The files are
hosted via Cloudflare's CDN so you will automatically get the closest
server to you.

What operating system are you running? What version of ClamAV are you running?

https://www.clamav.net/documentation

^^^ That page will hopefully give you some answers...

When I type freshclam in my terminal, I get

Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> ClamAV update process started at Sat Aug 17
17:36:27 2019
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs:
4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> daily.cvd is up to date (version: 25544,
sigs: 1725545, f-level: 63, builder: raynman)
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> safebrowsing.cvd is up to date (version:
48958, sigs: 2441766, f-level: 63, builder: google)
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> bytecode.cvd is up to date (version: 330,
sigs: 94, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> ^getfile: dbname1.cvd not found on
database.clamav.net (IP: 104.16.219.84)
Sat Aug 17 17:36:27 2019 -> ^Can't download dbname1.cvd from
database.clamav.net
Sat Aug 17 17:36:28 2019 -> *Can't query
dbname1.0.102.0.0.6810DB54.ping.clamav.net
Sat Aug 17 17:36:28 2019 -> Trying again in 5 secs...

And it repeats this two more times before telling me

Sat Aug 17 17:36:39 2019 -> Giving up on database.clamav.net...
Sat Aug 17 17:36:39 2019 -> Update failed. Your network may be down or
none of the mirrors listed in /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf is working.
Check https://www.clamav.net/documents/official-mirror-faq for possible
reasons.


The first time I tried it, it also told me it can't ping clamav.net, but
I could ping clamav.net with no problem.  And the Internet's not down.


I didn't change any mirrors when I activated freshclam.conf.   I did
activate a bunch of things, if you see something I might have activated
I should go back and comment back in.  Maybe something needs a database
that doesn't exist?    I activated every safeguard I could see.


I am using the current version, 0.103.1, that I just went through the
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG rigamorole on the Clamav pages, ALL of
it, to install, because the version in the Ubuntu repository is out of
date and I kept getting error messages.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.

I am trying to run Clamav.  I want to run an antivirus scan. Right now I
presumably can't run it at all becasue it doesn't have its databases.


And I need to know how to run Clamav immediately, because I accidentally
got a really weird web page!   Today, not tomorrow and midnight won't
do.  Common sense.  Linux ain't just for servers any more.


Someone pointed me to a Ubuntu page for clamav that tells how to install
the out of date version that doesn't work because it's out of date, but
there might have been useful information on it - will "CLAMSCAN" run an
antivirus scan immediately?


Yours,

Dora Smith

You just need to comment out (with a #) the freschclam.conf line

ExtraDatabase = "dbname1", "dbname2"

Thanks.

You know, this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hard! ? Why can't you
just make several packages such as exist in outdated form in Ubuntu's
repositories?

It said,

Sat Aug 17 18:36:34 2019 -> Database updated (8734546 signatures) from
database.clamav.net (IP: 2606:4700::6810:db54)
Sat Aug 17 18:36:34 2019 -> !NotifyClamd: Can't find or parse
configuration file /path/to/clamd.conf

I think I see what the problem is.?? clamd.conf.SAMPLE is in the
/usr/local/etc folder next to freshclam.conf and freshclam.conf.sample.

Before I copy and rename it, am I also supposed to change something in it?

Maybe it's on that LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG page among
the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY? too many instructions, but if so, I
didn't see it!

Thanks!

Yours,

Dora

No, you don't want the sample. It appears everything is working properly with freshclam, but you have a different issue in that you don't appear to have a clamd.conf file where it should be. Someone running your platform will need to tell us where that is.

It was right there.? I seem to ahve figured out what to change to get it
to work before saving it without the sample name.

They did the same thing with the freshclam.conf file.?? Said to copy it
without the sample in the name, take out the line sample, and literally,
configure some things.?? :)? So I did.? Didn't say the same thing about
the clamd.conf file.? Or they did but it was buried among those
excessive instructions.

Mind you it took every instruction to get it to work - and it shouldn't
be that way.?? Ubuntu is becoming a regular desktop system with the
death of Linux.? The antivirus has to be so anyone can use it.

according to your later mail, you are using ubuntu 18.04. There should be
nothing wrong with clamav version 0.100.3 in this version of ubuntu, but if
you really need, you could backport (compile) version 0.101.2 from eoan.

it's not a good idea to compile available software locally, when packages
are available.

Dora,

It looks like you went through the freshclam.conf and just uncommented
a bunch of things without knowing what they were for and setting the
variable correctly for the custom options.

Like Al said, you need to comment the line with the ExtraDatabase, but
there are also a couple others I see right off the bat you probably
need to comment out too that could cause issues...

Debug = "yes"
OnUpdateExecute = "command"
ExtraDatabase = "dbname1", "dbname2"

You would probably be better off simply using the stock configs from
when you install the package(s), there really is no need to make any
changes for normal scanning.

If Ubuntu's packages are outdated, then you need to contact their
package maintainer, the clamav people have no control over that.
However, many distro's are running 0.100 branch due to some
incompatible changes that 0.101 branch has in regards to 3rd party
integration. For all practical purposes, there is no difference in
scanning ability between the two branches, they use the same virus
definition files, you will get the same results. Yes, freshclam will
give a warning but it can be safely ignored. Some distros have even
backported certain changes into their 0.100 builds, you would have to
read the package's changelog to see exactly.

Yes, that's pretty much what I did.

The instructions on your web page literally just say to uncomment some
stuff, and here is what is "most popular".

All that book of excess instructions needed to get the thing to work and
you can't even be specific.  And from what I saw the other configuration
file that also had to be edited wasn't mentioned at all, not that it
wouldn't be easy to miss.

It gave me an error message that my antivirus program wasn't up to date,
and everyone knows your antivirus version as well as definitions has to
be up to date or it will miss something critical!

Guys, you don't get out of needing to be as specific as you are
excessively complicated.

it's just a warning, not an error.

what "everyone knows" is often incorrect and unimportant.
antivirus version must be updated only if changes in the virus database need
newer version.

Also, virus DB version has nothing to do with clamav version.

it's you who makes things complicated. You even did not answer my question:

>>which GUI? and what exactly do you ned to scan?

Simply post ubuntu bugreport for installing new clamav version to 18.04.

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
