That means when freshclam tried to connect to an update server the connection was refused. You may want to set your country code in freshclam.conf to force it to use a closer server.

It looks like asl keeps overwriting my freshclam.conf. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Think I found it... /var/asl/data/templates/template-freshclam.conf

Couldn't ASL determine the country code for the IP address of the system via geoip and use that to configure the ClamAV database mirror?

GeoIP isn't always that accurate.
I'd prefer a config option in the ASL config file that takes a country code and then inserts the appropriate thing (converted to the appropriate format if need be) in the necessary config files.
I'm seeing a lof of these again btw. I've not changed my config. Will do so shortly.

Sorry for my late response guys !
Ok so you change the XY.
What about the next 2 ?
Code: Select all
# Uncomment the following line and replace XY with your country
# code. See http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list.
#DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
# database.clamav.net is a round-robin record which points to our most
# reliable mirrors. It's used as a fall back in case db.XY.clamav.net is
# not working. DO NOT TOUCH the following line unless you know what you
# are doing.
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net

I think the "DO NOT TOUCH" part says it all...
