Clam AntiVirus 0.80 - An anti-virus utility for Unix.

Clam AntiVirus 0.80 - An anti-virus utility for Unix.

About:
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of this
software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). The
package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a
commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The
programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus
package, which you can use in your own software.

Changes:
This release introduces many new features. The most important one is the
new scan engine with support for 3 algorithms: a multipattern variation of
a Boyer-Moore algorithm for static signatures, an extended Aho-Corasick
algorithm with support for simple regular expressions, and POSIX
compatible regular expression automatas which will be used to scan some
specific places with complex signatures. A new very lightweight version
verification method (using TXT records) was added to freshclam. It's now
possible to discover when a new database has been released with a single
UDP packet.

I have a problem with .80

When running freshclam, I get the messages:
Database updated (26449 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (65.77.42.207).
ERROR: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd on 127.0.0.1:3310
connect(): Connection refused

This problem did not exist in version .7x

Does clamd really need to be notified?

Not if it's not running!

edit /etc/freshclam.conf and comment out the line which says

NotifyClamd /etc/clamd.conf
