[clamav-users] How to download and update main.cvd and daily.cvd manually AND update mirrors

[George]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks again for your answer.
I just checked and clamav can read the main.cvd and the daily.cvd. It
cannot write. I hope that's what you meant.
Otherwise, when I tried a manual update. I did what follows but, as you can
see, to no avail:

user at virus:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
[ ok ] Stopping clamav-freshclam (via systemctl): clamav-freshclam.service.
user at virus:~$ sudo freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Fri Dec 15 11:46:39 2017
main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder:
sigmgr)

Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in
/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf is working. Check
http://www.clamav.net/doc/mirrors-faq.html for possible reasons.

I don't know what to do here.

Best regards,
George
