Clamtk update

[david1958]

Hello, I am no longer having the problem with the update of the virus definations on clamtk anti virus. I downloaded it some time ago but never ever really fooled with it. But It was outdated and so I did some research here. I will not take the credit for the link i am going to post I stumbled across somewhere here on the forum, but this link tells about clamtk and freshclam. This link refers to freshclam and how to fix the config file very simple.

GOTHBITES,
you need to edit, as root, these two files, that on my LXDE are in /etc :
clamd.conf
freshclam.conf
first lines of clamd.conf must look like these:

##
## Example config file for the Clam AV daemon
## Please read the clamd.conf(5) manual before editing this file.
##


# Comment or remove the line below.
#Example

# Uncomment this option to enable logging.
# LogFile must be writable for the user running daemon.
# A full path is required.
# Default: disabled
#LogFile /tmp/clamd.log

and first lines of freshclam.conf must be like these:

##
## Example config file for freshclam
## Please read the freshclam.conf(5) manual before editing this file.
##


# Comment or remove the line below.
#Example

# Path to the database directory.
# WARNING: It must match clamd.conf's directive!
# Default: hardcoded (depends on installation options)
#DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

# Path to the log file (make sure it has proper permissions)
# Default: disabled
#UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log

# Maximum size of the log file.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# You may use 'M' or 'm' for megabytes (1M = 1m = 1048576 bytes)
# and 'K' or 'k' for kilobytes (1K = 1k = 1024 bytes).
# in bytes just don't use modifiers.
# Default: 1M
#LogFileMaxSize 2M

also in clamd.conf following lines MUST BE DECOMMENTED like these:

# Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown.
# Default: yes
#FixStaleSocket yes

# TCP port address.
# Default: no
TCPSocket 3310

# TCP address.
# By default we bind to INADDR_ANY, probably not wise.
# Enable the following to provide some degree of protection
# from the outside world.
# Default: no
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1

save the changes, close, reboot the system and from terminal as ROOT give

However when I run Filemanager-avs or ClamTk both say the signatures are still out of date.

However I even tried to run from root Konsole no luck at cannot find command lol

Clamtk
bash: Clamtk: command not found

GOTHBITES,
do NOT run from terminal (konsole)
launch from PC (menu)>Utility file>Clamtk
cheers

Thanks mate However as I mention I did run them from GUI and the signatures were still out of date. I was trying  to mix things up.

However As of this writing I am gonna do a Complete wipe and reinstall because of the many fun stuff going on. and the fact I can't log in to my school network is the main reason lol.

wish me luck also When did they go from 700mb to a gig iso just curious.
