If you’ve decided to run antivirus software on your Ubuntu machine, it’s more than likely ClamAV aka ClamTK (the GUI frontend for ClamAV). I went to update the definitions just for the fun of it the other day and I got this…
Luckily this problem is easily remedied. Open a terminal and type…
sudo clamtk
