ClamAV duplicate database Warning

Hi, I have just got the following warning using clamav? LibClamAV Warning: Detected duplicate databases /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld and /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cvd. The /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld database is older and will not be loaded, you should manually remove it from the database directory.
Running clamav 0.100.0-1.cp1170 on Centos 7 cpanel 74.0.6. Do I just do rm /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld? Thanks Peter

  Hi, Instead of removing it, just move it to some other location for time being. You can use the below command to do so. # mv /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld /root/

  You can remove if after you update the clamav virus definitions.

  Hello, You could move the duplicate database to another location with commands like this: mkdir /root/clamav-backup mv /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/main.cld /root/clamav-backup/
  Then, check for any error messages when running the following commands: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam /scripts/restartsrv_clamd
  If no errors persist upon running those commands, you can then remove the /root/clamav-backup directory. Thank you.

  I ran into this same issue. I removed the duplicate database file and then ran into the following error: root@ide [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav]# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 7 12:45:03 2019 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
