<p style="padding:0 0 0 0; margin:0 0 0 0;">Hello Gentleman,</p>
<p style="padding:0 0 0 0; margin:0 0 0 0;">During check of my logs I had found outdated ClamAV binaries (reported by freshclam). Is there any continuous plan for making antivirus up to date?</p>
<p style="padding:0 0 0 0; margin:0 0 0 0;"> </p>
<p style="padding:0 0 0 0; margin:0 0 0 0;">I know, this is only warning. But why to not have periodically updated antivirus on the same way like web browser firefox which is allways up to date on all *buntu derrivates?</p>
