The current version i daily-26193... If you do mean 26093 and that is not a typo
you need to check your DNS. Specifically
 	host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net
should give
 	current.cvd.clamav.net descriptive text
"0.103.2:59:26139:1618342140:1:63:49191:333"
(and  ...:26140:... tomorrow...)

Also, please update clamav to version 0.103.2 and use either
 	freshclam
or
 	https://github.com/micahsnyder/cvdupdate
to update.
