clamav and freshclam not working - Rolisican Idol - 02-16-2020
I recently switched to Linux Lite because of Windows 7 expiring. This week after I installed clamav, scans wouldn't work.
First I ran from terminal:
sudo apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon
(clamtk was on the end of that line I copied, but it was said not to work well with Linux Lite)
I had used clamav before on a machine with Ubuntu 12.04, where i'd enter "clamscan -r /" Trying it on this PC, I'd get:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav
ERROR: Can't open file or directory
With 0 files scanned
I uninstalled everything I saw and reinstalled clamav, but not clamav-daemon. Then I ran freshclam manually, ending up with this:
Sat Feb 15 13:18:20 2020 -> daily database available for download (remote version: 25724)

Please suggest what else I should show in order to get an answer to my problem.

Remove what you have done first.
Then use the ClamAV guide in our Help Manual please.
