I get this when I want to update virus data:

ERROR: Can’t open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!

Any advice to solve this?

Match the file's ownership and permissions to this: `-rw-r----- clamav adm /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log` – FedKad Oct 25 '20 at 12:03
