The url 'database.clamav.net' redirects to 'emeksensin.com'. I tried switching between DNS servers and same thing happens.
Anyone noticed? Anyone can update definitions?

My updates are going okay. Have you installed any software recently? If you have not, then your machine might be hacked.

How long has this been happening? Have you tried running a scan with Malwarebytes to make sure you don't have any redirecting trojans/malware on your system?

I highly doubt his system got hacked.

Hello all:

I found a reference to emeksensin.com at clamav.net from November 2015. It appears related to an error in a mirror redirect, not sure what could be done, though.

Try this temporary download routine until you figure things out:

Go to http://www.clamav.net/downloads on the web. Select Virus Database. Right click on the main.cvd database and Save As in your ClamWin databae folder. Then do the same for the daily and bytecode databases, one at a time.

Hello everyone, it seems it was problem with the DNS. Though I swithced to the OpenDNS servers, it was still failing, now I cleaned the NetBT and seems to work fine. I asked because I was already doing manual downloads.
I do it manually since version 0.99
I've found that I can't reach the url current.cvd.clamav.net Does clam antivirus check for this on a diferent TCP port than 80?

The ClamAV mirrors are on port 22, while your DNS connects through port 53. Make sure none of these are being blocked by your firewall or your DNS service. You can try port 443/TCP, but I don't know which mirrors support https.

I personal do not use a DNS service and actually have the service disabled on my system. I just use a custom host file, instead, as it is much faster and more secure this way. However, I do have to say, it is weird why OpenDNS wouldn't work with ClamAV, considering that Cisco owns them both.

Thanks RockRollKid I'll try opening port 22
