    I have searched ahead of time and no clear path with a centos cpanel server to update the clamav software just definitions which will not update now since so far out of range.

    The problem is that yum does not see where cpanel installed clamav so it will not update it.

    CENTOS 5.8 i686 standard
    WHM 11.34.1 (build 6

    cPanel installs ClamAV from source. Trying to install a ClamAV RPM package will likely break it, or at least break its integration with cPanel. You can update ClamAV to the latest version that cPanel supports by uninstalling it and then reinstalling it in Home » cPanel » Manage Plugins.

    Do you have any ClamAV RPM package installed? Does this command give any output?

    Code:
    # rpm -qa|grep -i clam
    There should be no output. If any ClamAV package is installed, remove it and then reinstall the cPanel ClamAV plugin.

    If you submit a ticket, we should be able to find the cause of this relatively quickly.

    Hello :)

    The ticket noted the existence of the following file:

    Code:
    /usr/local/bin/clamscan
    This likely originated from a custom installation of ClamAV that was removed at some point. The correct binary (as provided by cPanel) is stored at /usr/bin/clamscan. Thus, "/usr/local/bin/clamscan" was moved out of the way to resolve this issue.

    Thank you.
