[clamav-users] Error on Freshclam

[Shane Wise]

All,

I just wanted to follow up in case anyone else had this issue.  It was 
due to an outdated libcurl version.  Once I updated that and recompiled 
ClamAV, freshclam started working again.

Thanks for the guidance and pointing me on where to look!
