After installing Ubuntu 18.04 to its own drive on a dual booting high performance system (also Windows 10), I attempted to use Clamtk (home page) to scan drives. The result was an instant report of nothing found. Clamav and Clamtk were installed from the Ubuntu repository
I then attempted virus signatures update and saw there were no virus definitions installed. The download proceeded normally but there were still no virus signatures.
I then uninstalled Clamtk and used terminal to initiate a download using Freshclam. The download appeared to proceed normally but when it finished it was not installed. Freshclam then kept initiating further downloads with the same result until it timed out. I used terminal commands to run freshclam (sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop then sudo freshclam -v)
I then uninstalled and then reinstalled Clamav (home page) and tried again with the same result. I used synaptic package manager for the uninstall and reinstall.
I then established where the virus signatures come from and was able to download daily.cvd to my downloads folder successfully, but have no idea where to move it and main.cvd to.
Any ideas as to the problem and solution, please?
