Freshclam error

I just updated my ClamAV from the following web site:

http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32/index.php

However, when I run FreshClam, I get the following error:

ClamAV update process started at Fri Jan 13 13:31:06 2006

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I don't know about this error, but this...

is in part due to an unfortunate default setting in the config file
supplied with the SOSDG package. I discuss it in this thread:

http://forums.sosdg.org/viewtopic.php?t=205

Although your error also suggests that your configuration file is not at
the expected location or is corrupted. A corrupted file might also
explain the earlier error.

Confirm that your config file is located at:

c:/clamav-devel/etc/clamd.conf

and that it has UNIX line endings. (If you've attempted to edit it with
Notepad or another editor that isn't designed to handle UNIX line
endings, then you've probably corrupted the file. Follow the
recommendation in SOSDG quick start guide
(http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32/clamav-qs1.pdf) and download an
appropriate editor.)
