Our logs show that there is still a small percentage of ClamAV 0.60 installations updating their database. ClamAV 0.60 was released on July 29th, 2003 and it was the last release to use the old database format. Starting from version 0.65, released on November 12nd, ClamAV uses a new database format, which is compressed and digitally signed.
We have been distributing the database in both formats till now, but we plan to drop support for ClamAV 0.60 on September 1st.
We encourage all users to upgrade to the latest release available.
People running an old version of ClamAV are missing many viruses and may experience stability problems. (0 comments)
