clamav and freshclam update failures

[Jan]

The lock error = remove that log file, you may have cancelled/stopped a run - I tested on my old LL3.8 and mid scan cancelled tried update -- got locked error - rm commands ran, updated fine and a new scan ran..


I did get a notification it couldn't find a config file on initial 'freshclam' on 2nd run all up to date..


*use sudo and change directory to your home (I used 'yourusername')

Hi Firenice03, 

Thank you for your earlier response to my initial post. 

Given my current issue: ^Clamd was not installed.  Cant connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl:  No such file or directory. 

Do you think that your suggestion above would apply to my current issue?
