Hi,

I just downloaded and installed W32 ClamAV devel-20061117/1909/Tue Sep 19 
22:58:44 2006  but am unable to run freshclam to update my virus db.

I ran freshclam with the --debug switch and I get the following output:

ClamAV update process started at Tue Nov 21 00:26:40 2006
SECURITY WARNING: NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES
See the FAQ at http://www.clamav.net/faq.html for an explanation.
LibClamAV debug: Can't open CVD file main.inc/main.info
WARNING: Removing corrupted incremental directory main.inc

LibClamAV debug: Can't open CVD file main.inc/main.info
ERROR: Can't parse new database



Do I need GMP installed on my Windows server?  If so, where can I find a W32 
binary of GMP?  I tried searching google, but wasn't able to find anything.

Additionally, what do I need to do to get freshclam to update the DB?  Am I 
missing something?

I installed ClamAV in the default dir (c:\program files\clamav) and used the 
default conf/freshclam.conf file.  Am running on Win2K.

Thanks!

Eric
