These may not be the most current instructions, use at your own risk.

If you are running a cPanel server then the MS Front-End is a big plus and a definite bargain.

* Download the latest stable ClamAV distribution from http://www.clamav.net
* 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
* Then restart MailScanner with:
service MailScanner restart

What does clamd -V from the command line show?

i had removed old version and reinstall issues had been sorted
is there any way when the mailscanner received infected emails to guarantee them on a specific folder?

Not sure but it might be possible using a ruleset in MS. Don't see anything in the clam conf files that suggest filtering to a specific directory.

Best bet might be asking on the MailScanner mailing list. http://lists.mailscanner.info/mailman/l ... ailscanner

You might have better luck asking your question or searching on the clamav mailing list:

[k-planethost]

let me ask something normally if i want to update clamav from source which is the correct procedure?
remove old sourse first?
download the new version and recompile it according to the configserver.com site?
this is enough to remove it and reinstall after
killall clamd

rpm -e clamav-db clamd clamav clamav-devel

/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/bin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/sbin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/lib/libclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/share/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/include/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/bin/freshclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/etc/clamav*

/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/bin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/sbin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/lib/libclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/share/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/include/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/bin/freshclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/etc/clamav*
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.daily/freshclam
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.hourly/freshclam
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.d/freshclam

?
or
cd clamav0.97.3
./configure
make uninstall

We would recommend uninstalling clamav using the first method rather than the second method, and then reeinstalling per the instructions on our site.
