    Question How do I fix this Clamtk problem?

    I am a new born Ubuntu and Clamtk user and need help. I need help that is easy as possible for me to follow. Step by step would be great. I have uploaded a screen capture of the problem. I am using Ubuntu 9.04. Thanks.

    What is your exact problem?

    And why are you using an antivirus program?

    The engine is out of date.

    You don't really need the newer engine, as long as the definitions are up-to-date. I have to question why you need a scanner for Windows viruses though. Clamav does say it scans for Linux viruses, but there are virtually zero Linux viruses in the wild.

    I am not worried about the Linux OS I am concerned about the Windows OS on the partition and the system is on a mixed network. There is Mac, Ubuntu, XP and Windows server.

    You have to wait for Ubuntu to release the newest version of ClamAV.
