Upgrade ClamAV to 0.95

I’ve noticed that cPanel’s update system doesn’t bother to upgrade clamAV so here is a quick upgrading guide taken from http://www.configserver.com/cp/upgrade.html

  • Download the latest stable ClamAV distribution from http://www.clamav.net (http://www.clamav.net/download/sources)
  • Expand the distribution and cd into the resultant directory and build ClamAV using: tar -xzf clamav-*

cd clamav*

./configure –disable-zlib-vcheck

make

make install

replace “Example” “#Example” — /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf

replace “Example” “#Example” — /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf

  • Run freshclam to download the latest definitions: freshclam
  • If you’re using the clamavmodule, check you have the latest version installed: /scripts/perlinstaller Mail::ClamAV
