Hello,

Just to let you know, from the UK Clamwin daily update keeps failing using the default download location database.clamav.net.
Have changed the download location to db.uk.clamav.net and it now works. Perhaps finding the correct mirror should be one of the questions in the installation routine, I have a lot of non-computer literate users who will have been stumped by this problem.

The error that the update log shows is as follows:

database ip is geo-localized, your nearest mirror may be unsynched with the virus sigs, you may decide to report clamav team about it

please help me. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers. I'm having that problem and I don't understand what you guys are talking about on how to fix it. This is the first time I've run clamwin on my computer and it's doing that:
