I would like to update my ClamAV antivirus 0.98.7 to 0.99.0 and tried updating it by typing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clamav
After which I got a message:
your clamAV is the newest version?
But when I tried updating the signature database by typing sudo freshclam
, I got the message your clamav 0.98.7 is outdated
.
I was able to download the ClamTK GUI and was able to update my definitions to the current one but my anti-virus engine is outdated. I tried downloading the 0.99.0 from the clamav website and unpacked the compressed files. When I ran ClamAV using ClamTK, it found 4 threats and the files from the uncompressed ClamAV 0.99.0 were infected.
Is there a way I can allow Synaptic Package manager to locate the software center package of the latest version?
I set up ClamTK to notify me any Antivirus engine updates. I was able to get rid of the infected files. I normally get software updates via package update manager. I have a server version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running a GUI version on top of it.
