Has anybody tried clamscan yet ? After I installed it, together with
oavupdate, it doesn't seem to work. oav-update retrieves the latest
virus definitions from the net, but clamscan doesn't seem to like that
file. For example, when I execute 'clamscan -d
/var/lib/oav-update/viruses.db', I get 'ERROR: hex2int() translation
problem (69). ERROR: Can't initialize virus database' And ofcourse, I
can't find that 69 error code anywhere...

Greetz,
Dick
