Post by Hard-Boiled »

Hi, for those wondering, why the virus-definition-file is not being updated..., seems, "AVAST Antivirus" is no longer maintaned by ASUSTOR according to this news-entry :

2019-04-09 ClamAV antivirus app is officially launched and the Avast antivirus app will no longer be maintained.
=> you may use ClamAV instead

Can you please fix ClamAV so that it's actually able to download virus definitions and not report configuration file errors? It's useless in its current state (see attached screenshot).

I'm running 1.1.0.r100 on my AS3204T v2 under OS version 4.0.1.ROG1. These are all the latest versions available from Asustor. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ClamAV multiple times.

I reported this weeks ago, but it still hasn't been updated.

ClamAV doesn't seem to indicate updates are occurring as well.

The app in question is for an Asustor NAS, why are you talking about iOS/iPadOS (which don't support antivirus apps)?
