[clamav-users] Problem with ClamAV 0.98.4 - HAVP won't load CVD files

[clamav at it-connect-unix.de]

Hello there, I'm Kare from copfilter.org

I saw this discussion about failing havp with ClamAV 0.98.4 and we  
also use havp in our project for a long time.
There is a way to get havp working, until an other solution has been found.

Go to havp.config and disable clamlib and enabel the socket mode
ENABLECLAMLIB false

ENABLECLAMD true
CLAMDSOCKET /var/log/clamd.socket

I planned to contact the developer on weekend

Regards
