Clamav stopped working, to old database... freshclam missing ?

[Winfried Ritsch]

Hello,

Did you see clamd at amavisd.service running ?

 # systemctl status -l clamd at amavisd.service

When yes  there should be the 
/var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock

if not it is not st
 # systemctl start clamd at amavisd.service

should give you the error to old database.

After installing  clamav-update also enable freshclam  in /etc/freshclam.conf:
 # Comment or remove the line below.
 #Example

and restart. afterwards restart clamd at amavisd.service, if not done by 
supervisor.
