I go to (using firefox's file un-roller) http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/ click on clamav-0.83-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm which tries to install but needs clamav-db so I click on clamav-db-0.83-1.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm which reports it needs data(clamav) which I found elsewhere and installed but it doesn't matter then I tried clamd-0.83-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm which needs clamav which was the first thing I tried to install! I tried the same thing at the clamav site, also stuck on dependencies. yum from the fc3-extras is the only thng I could make work but as you said it is out-of-date and doesn't include freshclam. Assume I have just enough knowledge/experience to get myself into trouble but not enough to get out... :-) bob
