We’ve been forced to take emergency measures to protect the ClamAV environment.

Please Immediately switch to using Freshclam or https://github.com/micahsnyder/cvdupdate to update your AV definitions.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are currently in emergency mode and have to make several drastic changes over the several days.

Hi All,
 
I am getting error  http client 403 where I have deployed google cloud function using python to download the daily clamav virus definitions from http://database.clamav.net.
 
It seems clamav is blocking access to google cloud IPs and denied the requests.
 
Has anybody faced similar issues and any workarounds available? Can Clamav enable our IPs and allow to download daily virus definition files?
 
Any help is greatly appreciated !!
 
Error log from google cloud function.
