ClamAV ERROR: Failed to load new database: Malformed database

Good Monday!
It is not the first time that the connection is interrupted. I use a nethserver machine with active squid, various filters and antivirus.
Looking in the various logs I find
ERROR: Failed to load new database: Malformed database
The only thing I did to do to get the services started was:
Empty the /var/lib/clamav folder
And run freshclam that has downloaded virus definitions.

You have this problem?

If I’m understanding your issue correctly It’s not a NethServer bug
It happens when there is a temporary data corruption with the specific database mirror you are using.

Ok, I’m sure it’s not a nethserver bug. I wanted to report it because if it blocks the proxy service, or maybe even samba, it might be a problem for many nethserver users. Has not anyone had this problem?
