I'm running a CentOS freash out of Azure, with ClamAV installed on it, by running the following commands: yum install -y epel-release yum install -y clamav When installed, I'm running the following command to update the various databases: freshclam I get the following output (Last part of the output): Time: 0.1s, ETA: 0.0s [=============================>] 657.84KiB/657.84KiB Downloading database patch # 25864... Time: 0.2s, ETA: 0.0s [=============================>] 992.77KiB/992.77KiB Downloading database patch # 25865...

ERROR: Database load killed by signal 9 ERROR: Database test FAILED. ERROR: Unexpected error when attempting to update database: daily WARNING: fc_update_databases: fc_update_database failed: Test failed (8) ERROR: Database update process failed: Test failed (8) ERROR: Update failed. I find it weird that no other has had the same issue using the distro, as I have not any super specific steps, just followed steps from the page. Hope someone is able to help me...
