What should I do in order to update anti-virus definitions and GUI version for ClamAV? I tried updating all my software, but that made no difference.

  • There is no GUI for ClamAV, are you perhaps referring to third-party GUI software such as ClamTk? –  Jan 25 '15 at 16:19

Most distributions run the update command automatically, but if you want to manually update the ClamAV definitions, then run this command in a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T): 

sudo freshclam

If you are referring to ClamTk when you say its GUI, then you can download the latest .deb file which will upgrade it for you from here: https://code.google.com/p/clamtk/

  • If the daemon is running to update the definitions automatically, there will be an error about the logs being locked. See comments at (duplicate): http://askubuntu.com/q/114000/17060 – michael Dec 16 '15 at 06:57
