  • Debian:

    dpkg --remove clamav*

  • Redhat/Fedora:

    yum remove clamav*

  • Mandriva:

    urpme clamav

  • Gentoo:

    emerge -C clamav

    pkg delete clamav

Caveats

Make sure that you haven’t got old libraries (libclamav.so) lying around your filesystem. You can verify it using:

ldd `which freshclam`

Also make sure there is really only one version of ClamAV installed on your system:

whereis freshclam

whereis clamscan
