How to offline update ClamAV database?

  • 772

I did download ClamAv datebase and I want to offline update the signature database, as far as I surfed I could not find a solution and also in ClamTK, ClamAVs GUI there is no option for the offline update, I am using the latest update of Ubuntu.
Thank you in advance for helping me.

    Download the file definitions from the ClamAV site:

    wget http://db.local.clamav.net/main.cvd
wget ​​http://db.local.clamav.net/daily.cvd

    The two files are required

    Copy these files into the ClamAV directory:

    cd ~/Downloads
sudo mv daily.cvd main.cvd /var/lib/clamav

    This will overwrite the old definition files
