Hi,

I have to run clamav in machines that don’t have access to internet, but they have access to intranet. I downloaded the virus db files manually from https://www.clamav.net/downloads <https://www.clamav.net/downloads> and then distribute them to /var/lib/clamav folder in the target machines. It fails with "LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd: Can't verify database integrity”.

However, if I use the db files generated from freshclam and distribute them to /var/lib/clamav folder in the target machines, it works.

Anything that I am missing before I could use the manually downloaded file?

Kevin

Sorry for the email. I just found that the file that I manually downloaded was incomplete and hence clamscan is reporting the file being invalid. Please ignore my previous email.
