Sober

[Jim Coates]

Martin,

How can I check for libclamav.* to be up to date?  (sorry to be a newbie)

I also found that clamd.conf and freshclam.conf looked at different database
directory locations.

Is it ok just to change one or the other?

Thanks,
Jim

known issue with 0.84 (well it's know outside the clamav community;-)

make sure you have an uptodate libclamav.* and

make sure the DatabaseDirectory setting is consistant in clamav.conf,
clamd.conf and freshclam.conf
