On 25th March 2015, securiteinfo announced changes to their databases:

http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20150325.133202.843fba9f.en.html

Yesterday it appears from the slightly annoyed emails I've been reciving,
that they removed their databases from the old clamav.securiteinfo.com and
diverted the domain to their main website.

Some users were left with either bad databases or lots of errors in their
log files, depending on their scripts they were using.

If you are seeing errors, and are using Bill Landry's ClamAV Unofficial
Signatures Updater, please edit clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf and

*** comment out these databases***

as they are no longer running on clamav.securiteinfo.com

   honeynet.hdb
   securiteinfo.hdb
   securiteinfobat.hdb
   securiteinfodos.hdb
   securiteinfoelf.hdb
   securiteinfohtml.hdb
   securiteinfooffice.hdb
   securiteinfopdf.hdb
   securiteinfosh.hdb
"

As a side note, securiteinfo signatures are distributed by securiteinfo
themselves and don't have anything to do with the signatures
provided/distributed by Sanesecurity.

Having said that, as they are in  Bill Landry's ClamAV Unofficial
Signatures Updater script, I'm putting this message out, to try and avoid
even more annoyance when people hit issues caused by their changes.
