[clamav-users] Issues with freshclam

Sun Oct 31 20:05:41 UTC 2021

Please look above at the EOL dates for each version.  It only just ticked past Oct 29 and we haven't yet updated the page to reflect the newly blocked version.  Thank you for pointing that out.  I'll update it right away.

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I saw that document, but it does say 0.99 down, not 0.100 down.

Hi Alan,

I'm sorry to say, but yes 0.100 is too old.  As of October 29, 0.100 has exceeded end of life and is now actively blocked from downloading signature updates.

Please see the EOL policy in the online docs for more info: https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html
ClamAV EOL Policy - ClamAV Documentation<https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html>
Currently, every version from ClamAV 0.99 and down, including all patch versions, are unsupported, and are actively blocked from downloading new updates.. Additional Detail About Critical Patch Support

Subject: [clamav-users] Issues with freshclam

The last couple of days I've been getting freshclam update errors...
result of running freshclam -v below.  I know 100.3 is old, but too
old?  Some other problem with the servers that respond 403?

Advice welcomed, thanks.  Been looking for the "official-mirror-faq" but
can't seem to find it.
