Hi all, I have recently been messing around with my sources.list and I think I've broke something to do with ClamAV. I am recieving the following errors: amavis[1354]: (01354-03) (!)ClamAV-clamd: Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory, retrying (2) Aug 6 23:01:06 amavis[1354]: (01354-03) (!)ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: run_av error: Too many retries to talk to /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl (Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory) at (eval 105) line 373.\n Aug 6 23:01:06 amavis[1354]: (01354-03) (!!)WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups I can confirm that the /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl file does not exist, I didn't remove it manually. Checking the ClamAV log I can see this line which is the last transmission: Tue Aug 2 12:51:58 2011 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK. Tue Aug 2 13:51:58 2011 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK.

I have been looking at this thread for advice. On trying the ls -l /var/run command, I recieve: drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav root 4096 Aug 6 17:01 clamav (should this not be owned by clamav group instead?) Could anyone please help me with this issue? Thanks
Problem solved, I must have removed clamav-daemon by accident and not re-installed it, thinking by apt-get install clam-av it would automatically install the daemon. This was not the case so I fixed the issue by apt-get install clamav-daemon.
