Hi - first posting here

Brand new install of clamav and first thing I ran was "sudo freshclam" which gave the following.

	McMadmin: sudo freshclam                  
	ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 24 20:38:54 2022
	daily database available for download (remote version: 26463)

	daily database available for download (remote version: 26463)

	Giving up on https://database.clamav.net...
	ERROR: Update failed for database: daily
	ERROR: Database update process failed: Connection failed
	ERROR: Update failed.

So then I used 

	openssl s_client -connect database.clamav.net:443 -servername clamav.net -showcerts | openssl x509 -text -noout


Which returned

	depth=2 C = GB, ST = Greater Manchester, L = Salford, O = COMODO CA Limited, CN = COMODO ECC Certification Authority
	verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate

Looks like the cert expired months ago. .... Or am I doing something wrong.

Is there an alternate mirror I can try. I am UK based.


Thanks in advance.
