location clamav's .cvd files?
I am trying to manually update ClamAV on a nas (non ubuntu based linux) for a friend, but i am not sure where to place the daily.cvd file.
I installed it automatically through the system but for one reason or another it doesn't want to update. Does anyone have any idea where the file daily.cvd is/should be located (on ubuntu system) so i might place it there manually?
Kind greats, Matthieu

I use ClamTK and have found the files in a hidden directory .clamtk so your files may well be in a directory.clamav in your Home directory. Igf using Nautilus you can see hidden directories by pressing Ctrlh.
Reverse the process to hide them again.
There is then a subdirectory under that called db which contains the .cvd file daily.cvd
On the other hand this reference suggests that the file can be found in /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd
