Re: ClamAV installation required?

yes Matus, you are absolutely right.
I have paid for my stupidness and was needed to reinstall my Computer because of the "white screen of death".
See the embedded Image what i mean:

WSOD

It seems the "Ubunturized" ClamAV Version don't check the downloaded signature files (I have enabled this option in my freshclam.conf), in the original ClamAV this always happen and is logged into freshclam.log - for each Database file
I don't know if this feature isn't implemented on Ubuntu side, or it isn't logged only.

Then on each Upgrade Ubuntu replaces my whole permissions for ClamAV and with this, ClamAV didn't work anymore, so I always need to restore my own Permissions to get ClamAV working again.
