  Turns out that warning was from a specific file being outdated.
  rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/securiteinfo*.hdb
  should fix this
  more securiteinfooffice.hdb.bak
  shows:
  clamav.securiteinfo.com/securiteinfooffice.hdb has been removed New up-to-date signatures are available for download Please see the following link for more information : Add 1.000.000 signatures to Clamav antivirus
  same with honeynet.hdb, you'll have to remove that as well. Seems someone got tired of providing free virus definitions and decided to break everything for everyone

  Hello :) Were these databases added manually at some point in time? They do not exist on any of my test servers. Thank you.

  honeynet.hdb doesn't in my personal server, but on another one it did securiteinfo did on both. Oddly enough, it was just affecting one server this way Needless to say, removing these didn't harm the install at all. In fact, just the opposite, that got it working again.
