Uninstalling ClamAV

If you installed from source

`./configure`

`sudo make uninstall`

If you installed from packages

  • Debian:

    dpkg --remove clamav*

  • Redhat/Fedora:

    yum remove clamav*

  • Mandriva:

    urpme clamav

  • Gentoo:

    emerge -C clamav

  • FreeBSD:

    pkg delete clamav

  • OpenBSD:

    pkg_delete clamav

  • NetBSD:

    pkgin remove clamav

  • Slackware:

    /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav stop; removepkg clamav

Caveats

Make sure that you haven’t got old libraries (libclamav.so) lying around your filesystem. You can verify it using:

    $ ldd `which freshclam`

Also make sure there is really only one version of ClamAV installed on your system:

`$ whereis freshclam`

`$ whereis clamscan`
