and it can ping the server

checked that it does not have apparmor

Not sure what else i can do?

Thank you

Local version: 0.101.4 Recommended version: 0.103.5

this looks rather odd (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=clamav lists only 0.103.X versions for the past 3 debian releases)

please post:
* pmgversion -v
* freshclam --version
* which freshclam

* which freshclam

this would be helpful as well

also the output of `dpkg -l |grep -i clam`

In any case - I would suggest to upgrade your PMG installation (after we've figured out what's on with clamav on your system):

pmg-api: 6.1-2

is quite outdated - I would suggest to at least upgrade to the latest available version of 6.4 - and if possible also to upgrade to pmg7:
