This past weekend, I braved the frozen tundra of our server room to upgrade the OS on our campus intranet server to CentOS<\/a> 7. Seriously, I needed a parka. At least it’s better than the days of our servers overheating and shutting down, due to inadequate cooling systems included in the plan for that room, but I digress.<\/p>\n After getting everything up and running, I got an error notification that ClamAV<\/a> was failing to run properly.
