So I've gone ahead and taken some recommendations of others here, but here's what I get when I try to update my Clam virus definitions files...


ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/freshclam.conf
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/freshclam.conf

Is there something I'm missing here?.....shouldn't the application / program I just downloaded be the latest version? The GUI displays that the definitions are "Out Of Date" but when I click on the "Check For Updates" option it goes through the motions and tells me they're still outdated. Is there some kind of fix for this?...

Thanks!

Sorry about that! Just one time, you have to edit freshclam.conf. And it's a snap. Open a terminal, become root. (Not sure if that's necessary, but if it is, you've done that.) Type cd /etc (return) * Type nano freshclam.conf (return). Right at the top, it tells you to comment out the line below. Insert a # sign in front of the word Example. Type Control-X, then Y. (If you don't have nano, you probably have pico, which works about the same.) * If your distro allows you to use sudo, then you can do cd /etc sudo nano freshclam.conf and go on from there.
Still pretty simple.
