Hi @Sandshark,
We are still investigating why the AV database is still not updating for some users even after updating to 6.10.5.
For this particular case, L3 checked /var/lib/clamav and saw that daily.cld was still outdated. L3 needs to renew it so they removed the two files (daily.cld and mirrors.dat) then ran freshclam.
If the user is knowledgeable in Linux, they can try this, but it will be best if they can send the logs to me or @Marc_V so we can forward this to the appropriate team and they can further investigate the issue
