New Clamav updated Mar 2nd but not available

I currently have Clamav v0.098.7 installed. The software center likewise is v0.98.7. Just this past March 2nd or so, Clamav released v0.99.1. When, if ever, will the latest release be made available?

You could try this:

Download the tarball from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav ... av/0.99.1/ {clamav-0.99.1.tar.gz }

Next install 'alien' via the Terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T):

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install alien

After you have installed 'alien', navigate in the terminal to your 'Downloads' folder and enter:

Code:

sudo alien clamav-0.99.1.tar.gz

This should create a '.deb' file. You may see a red circle with a white cross in it - this is because we have had to use root privileges to create the file.

Uninstall your current installation of clam-av:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove clamav

next using 'gdebi' - if not installed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

Launch Gdebi package installer, locate the newly created .deb file and select 'Install' - bear in mind that clam-av latest may be dependent on certain kernels of GNU/Linux in order to install satisfactorily.
