Irene Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I am not an expert, but I think that in your position, I would either uninstall Clamwin or do a system restore to a point before the new patch was downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Usually when a file fails a checksum or hash check its best to redownload or check the file yourself with other software. As far as I know its usually not something you can fix on your own. Even if you did regenerate it and hex it into the file it would probably not operate the same because something would still be corrupt.
