Dear Friends,
I work (with my PC) within a Lan with proxy authentication.
When I "do" TOOLS> DOWNLOAD VIRUS DATABASE UPDATE
I always get within the report the following "warning":

Quote:

ClamAV update process started at Mon Jun 09 12:26:10 2008
WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode.

Is there anyone who can explain to me the meaning of this warning (simple words please Very Happy

)

Thanks a lot for your help !!! Paolo

your lan is not able to use dns so the warning, you may have configured to block dns query but it's not really a problem
freshclam only supports basic authentication with the proxy, you may have configured ntlm auth
