One of the questions I receive in my inbox quite frequently is:

“Does ClamAV need any more mirrors for virus definitions?”

The quick answer is “Yes!”  We’ll always take more mirrors that we can get, as we increase output of virus definitions and such, we need more infrastructure to be able to handle the load.

If you are interested in becoming a ClamAV mirror, please follow the instructions here:

Certain users are experiencing database update issues due to the failed Authenticode database push. This blog post will show how to check if you’re one of those affected users and how to fix freshclam.

Validate You’re Affected

You can validate that you’re having this particular issue by a number of ways:

1. Check the hash of your daily.cvd. You are affected if the hash matches the following:
1. MD5: 89dedb45609e59b0244fb5202ab6fa56
2. SHA1: 9947ec90e60499ab7c3331670d5b26b4eaac76e4
2. Check your freshclam log file (Read more...)

In preparation for the ClamAV 0.98 release, we will be performing maintenance on the infrastructure beginning at 5:00 PM EST on 04 Mar 2013.

We will be pushing out a new signature database that does not have a corresponding cdiff file. This means that clients will pull down a full copy of the daily.cvd database, which will cause an increase in download traffic from the mirrors.

The maintenance is estimated to take one hour.  No impact to users, beyond the downloading of a new daily.cvd, is anticipated.

We would like to extend our thanks to the mirror providers for their contributions, and thank you for using ClamAV.
