== Method 1 ==
=== '''Solution''' ===
{{Tip box|msg= As a result of [[bugzilla:8107]] and [[bugzilla:8108]] a script to refresh clamav is now included in your SME Server}}
To run this script and refresh clamav, open a terminal (logged as root) and issue the following command:
/usr/bin/refreshclam
then press "enter" . The script will take a few minutes to complete. All steps will be displayed, ending up with the following WARNING : "Clamd was NOT notified : Can't connect to clamd through /var/clamav/clamd.socket connect(): No such file or directory. This warning can be ignored, it is expected as a number of processes were stopped during execution of the script.
'''All other scripts below are deprecated. They are here for documentation purposes only.'''
== Method 2 - Deprecated ==
