Hi,

ClamAV update process started at Sun Mar 14 22:28:09 2021

Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in
/etc/freshclam.conf is working. Check
http://www.clamav.net/doc/mirrors-faq.html for possible reasons.

*OS*: Fedora 20
Telnet to database.clamav.net on port 80 is working fine from the server.
I have tried the IPV4 instead of database.clamav.net, but not working.

Anyone please share the solid solution.

Update to a currently supported version of ClamAV.

You haven't told us which version you are on, so that may not be the
problem, but it usually is.

Unless, of course, you're one of the naughty sites.

Cheers,

that is too old OS (2013-12-17), containing old and unsupported ClamAV version.

upgrade at least ClamAV to at least 0.100

note that may become unsupported in a while, so newest ClamAV version is
recommended.

However, I recommend you upgrading the OS too, if possible.
Why running such old OS with dozens of security bugs?

Well, obviously if you run an anti-virus package, your computer is
"protected", so you don't have to worry about security any more...

When you can, please read "Armageddon" by Max Hastings.
