    I seem to remember getting this issue when I first started using clamav, going back through my notes I found I had written this:



    First find out my uid and gid by typing at the command prompt: id your_username



    Should give you a long line of text with a uid and gid in it somewhere, then type:
    sudo chown UID.GID /var/lib/clamav
    then
    sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/clamav



    Change UID and GID with the values you got from the id Command above.



    hope that helps
