ClamAV not picking up a virus

[Muzza]

I'm running redhat 9, exim 4.50 and the latest version of ClamAV.

I've worked out that it must be something in my clamd.conf

The reason for this is that the freshclam.conf is working fine and updates correctly.

clamscan when run over a mailbox on the email server picks up the virus.

So I know I have the correct database virus file and that it shoudl detect the virus.

So this leaves the clamd.conf

My clamd.conf has these settings

This is the info from my clamd.conf

LogFile /tmp/clamd.log

PidFile /var/run/clamd.pid

DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

LocalSocket /tmp/clamd

FixStaleSocket

User clamav

AllowSupplementaryGroups

ScanArchive

Note: I've left out the comments.

Note: The virus in queston is Worm.Sober.U with regards to ClamAV. And was added to the database file in update 1197

# clamd -V
ClamAV 0.87.1/1198/Tue Nov 29 20:05:20 2005

Found this as well which might be closer to the problem

I assume if i remove the socket (/tmp/clamd) and start up ClamAv again it should work again
