    I'm finding that all of the messages in liquidfiles are not being virus scanned and are just showing this under messages:

    File1.pdf (is being scanned for viruses, please check back in a little while. 0 in queue)

    I've tried to force update the AV:

    [rootuser@liquidfiles ~]$ sudo ft av_update
    [sudo] password for rootuser:
    Do you want to remove the existing AV signatures (only do this if there's a problem)? y
    Removing previous signatures.

    But the clamAV service will not start.

    What can I do?

    If you haven't yet updated to LiquidFiles v3.2.12, you will need to do so to fix this issue. You can update in the web interface by going to Admin → System → Update or by logging in on the console and running the command `ft update`.

    In a recent ClamAV update, the RedHat/CentOS team decided to move the ClamAV configuration file and the new system default configuration file is not compatible with LiquidFiles. For security reasons, LiquidFiles automatically updates ClamAV as part of the nightly maintenance, and this update is what caused this issue. Updating to LiquidFiles v3.2.12 uses the new ClamAV default configuration location and will make the system fully functional again.
