  Hello :) Have you installed a third-party instance of ClamAV through your system package manager or via source instead of through the "Manage Plugins" option in Web Host Manager? Thank you.

  I reinstaller with WHM option but I get this error: root@vps6 [~]# /etc/cron.daily/freshclam ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!). ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

  Did you first remove any manual installation of ClamAV (installed either through source or RPM)? Check to see the file ownership of "/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log":
  ls -al /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
  I've seen cases where it's owned by "clam" instead of "clamav" after an unsupported ClamAV installation. Thank you.

  You can update the ownership to "clamav" via:
  chown clamav.clamav /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
  Thank you.
