Hello,

I have seen postings on various places about ClamWin Antivirus definitions
not working lately. It looks to me like a certificate that was set up to
allow Windoze permissions to access the database on some Linux Server has
expired as of last year, and therefore, definitions do not automatically
(or manually) download. I am feeling very computer illiterate at this
point, but I am sure some of you have a solution for how an old Windows
user can get their machines to update the Clamwin Antivirus definitions
either manually or automatically.

I used to write to one of the ClamWin administrators "Alex" when I needed
help, but with most of the ClamWin stuff on Sourceforge taken down, he is
no longer reachable either.

Can someone please tell me in precise detail how to update the virus
definitions on a dozen different Windows computers of various ages (Win98SE
thru Win 11). A complete list of steps please. Do I need a local Linux
server to do this, or can I just pull them off of a server already existing
by changing some local settings?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dave
