No antivirus updates since upgrade to 6.6.1
Since upgrading to OS 6.6.1 from 6.6.0 last weekend, I have not had any antivirus updates. Also, there is nothing in log showing that it's trying to update the AV definitions....
I tried running :
'sudo freshclam' as admin user, and the server appeared to perform an update, though the admin gui did not show the update.
After a server restart, it did show the update on the gui....
From terminal several hours later, I see the following though :
$ sudo service clamav-freshclam status
● clamav-freshclam.service - ClamAV virus database updater
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/clamav-freshclam.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Sat 2017-01-14 22:30:31 WET; 6s ago
Process: 2236 ExecStart=/usr/bin/freshclam --quiet (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 2236 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
I can start it with :
sudo service clamav-freshclam start
and status comes back :

So this appears to have kicked things off again, but I expect the daemon to stop again... any ideas anyone?
sudo? That's superfluous when logged in to SSH as root. sudo is used to run commands as if you were the root user.
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Hi mdgm,
Thanks for your reply - I have sent on the logs, as requested. I tend to use sudo where possible to avoid using root user for everything... Just a practise I use in my own work to avoid mistakes.
I checked again this morning, and the daemon is dead again...
Kind Regards,
