sudo freshclam problems

  • 772

When I put following in terminal:

 sudo mkdir /var/log/clamav
 sudo chown -R clamav:adm /var/log/clamav/
 sudo chown -R clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav/
 sudo freshclam

I can succesfully get virus update after running these commands. However, after some time I get an error.

I think after I use STACER application to clean system ( actually not necessary to clean )

joso@joso-aspirees1433:~$ sudo freshclam
[sudo] password for joso: 
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!
joso@joso-aspirees1433:~$

but after I run commands in terminal it gives updated freshclam:

joso@joso-aspirees1433:~$ sudo su 
[sudo] password for joso: 
root@joso-aspirees1433:/home/joso# sudo mkdir /var/log/clamav
root@joso-aspirees1433:/home/joso# sudo chown -R clamav:adm /var/log/clamav/
root@joso-aspirees1433:/home/joso# sudo chown -R clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav/
root@joso-aspirees1433:/home/joso# sudo freshclam

How do I keep these settings permanent ?
