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....

System: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection.
No problems with internet access from various other programs
I had a similar update failure message after the 'live update' that was rolled out which fixed the update mechanism... it turns out that my root 4Gb file system (/dev/md0) was in a read-only state.
This was due to the fact that while it was 80% full of data, according to 'df -k' but it needed a balance to sort out the btrfs metadata.
The root volume shouldn't be anywhere near 80% full. You've got a lot on it if it is that full.
In my case, the 80% volume usage was because of an old installation of Poussin's LMS server, which when removed brought me down to 48, then with a balance run, no longer an issue.
I was trying to illustrate the point that when I started to receive AV update failures, the message was actually misleading - there was no internet connection issue, but just that the process could not write to disk due to a read-only filesystem...
Clam AV updates for me now working reliably every day.
