Wrong ClamAV update?

  • 772

I have followed this steps to install ClamAV

1.

sudo apt install clamav

2.

sudo systemctl stop clamav-freshclam

3.

sudo freshclam

4.

sudo systemctl start clamav-freshclam

But after step 3 I received this output

I don't know if this has been a successful update or I should do anything more...

Thanks in advance...

    You probably haven't configured clamav, hence the error message:

    !NotifyClamd: Can't find or parse configuration file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

    But that's ok it's just a !Notify. You don't need to do anything more if you don't want to.

    The defaults for clamav are good, and you were able to download all the signatures, so it's working.

    If you want to customise your installation, then read man clamd.conf
