every day I receive this message:

/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:

Hello

Have you installed a third-party instance of ClamAV through your system package manager or via source instead of through the "Manage Plugins" option in Web Host Manager?

Thank you.

I reinstaller with WHM option but I get this error:

[email protected] [~]# /etc/cron.daily/freshclam
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

Did you first remove any manual installation of ClamAV (installed either through source or RPM)? Check to see the file ownership of "/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log":

ls -al /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log

I've seen cases where it's owned by "clam" instead of "clamav" after an unsupported ClamAV installation.

Thank you.

confirm owner is clam and not clamav

You can update the ownership to "clamav" via:

chown clamav.clamav /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log

Thank you.
