ClamAv not starting

Hi
If you have had a warning over clamav not working today, then the issue is likely to be in maldet.
Top resolve this issue, I did a maldet reinstall as follows:
SSH into server
service clamd stop
cd (to folder where you extrated maldet)
./install.sh
(onscreen you should see where it downloads the latest version, and also the hash values have changed)
maldet --update-sigs
maldet --update-ver
vi /usr/local/maldetect/conf.maldet (please set config as you need)
maldet -m users
service clamd start
That should correct clamav, and clamav start normally, with maldet running normally
I hope that helps
Many thanks
John

I had the same problem here this morning - got an alert that ClamAV is not running. Thank you for your fix! Followed your instructions which resolved the issue immediately =)

We had the same issues this morning as well. Thanks John. :slight_smile:
