Thank you for the clarification. Alright, I have now successfully changed both timeout times from 30 to 300 and saved the changes. I'm back in the Terminal now and entered
sudo freshclam
the same four EEROR messages repeated themselves as below:
ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateFileLog = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log)
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam unit failed
ERROR: Initialization error
I typed both
sudo rm /var/log/clamav/freshclam.logsudo rm -rf /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
but nothing at all happens now. Do you think this may have something to do with that message I got when I opened freshclam.conf that said, "The search data base is more than 7 days old. Update now?"
Or, do you think I should just start over again from the beginning with a purge of clamav as you first outlined?
