What version of ClamAV are you using? July of last year sounds about when EOL versions of ClamAV were blocked wholesale and the 'acceptable version' was moved up and all prior versions were blocked. EOL has moved several times since then as well. Currently, the current stable version 0.104 and I don't believe anything before 0.103 will get updates.

Hello!


I've spent last two hours trying to find a solution, but I failed. I
realized today that my virus database on my personal computer at home
(an old PC running the last version of KDE Neon) hasn't been updated
since 14th July 2021. When I tried to update manually, I've got the
information that I'm blocked by the CDN (cool-down etc.). I followed the
instructions in order to manually lower the number of times per day
Clamfresh is trying to fetch the updates from 24 to 1, increase the
Retrieve Timeout to 900,k etc. in the config file - but if the system
has been unable to fetch ANY updates for the past NINE MONTHS, I doubt
it will solve the problem... I want to emphasize that this is the only
computer at my home that connects to the internet daily... I connect
through Bouygues (one of the biggest internet providers in France)  via
ADSL - and I'm a bit afraid that ClamAV's CDN is treating all the
customers of Bouygues as if they were a single company or organization -
which renders the use of Avast for hundreds of people impossible (I'm
writing "hundreds", but I have no clue what is the proportion of Linux /
ClamAV users among the millions of customers of Bouygues)... I'm stuck
and I have absolutely no idea what to do... Please, help.


Best,

Jerzy Witwinowski
