Clamscan runs, but the database is not getting updated because it can't access the log file (seems a bad decision to me). The only other clue that I have is LibClamAV Warning: ************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: *** The virus database is older than 7 days! *** LibClamAV Warning: *** Please update it as soon as possible. *** LibClamAV Warning: ************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: Corrupt TNEF header detected - length -1382561197 Googling wasn't much help with that warning, either. The first part is self- explanatory when taken in conjunction with the logger error quoted above. The only entry that seemed similar was http://www.forum.psoft.net/archive/index.php/t-21360.html but that was in 2007.
