clamav not updating, is this normal?
« on: January 21, 2013, 01:38:19 PM »
Using 3.2.18 LXDE.
The repos seem to be out of date for GUI and virus definitions.  /etc/clam.conf and /etc/freshclam.conf have every line starting with a "#", what good is that?  What purpose do these files serve if nothing is going to be run?  (I can't ever remember a wait for "freshclam" during boot.)

Only reason for this is that during a launch of Synaptic, earlier today, I got a strange message: "could not capture mouse, malicious software detected".  Decided to run Clamtk and noticed things were out of date.
