how to run clamAV on Ubuntu

eg flag

I tried to update and run clamAV but:

$ systemctl start clamav-freshclam
$ clamscan --version
ClamAV 0.103.2/26298/Mon Sep 20 06:51:09 2021
$ sudo freshclam
[sudo] password for gigiux: 
WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option SafeBrowsing at /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf:22
ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!

How can I solve it?

Doesn't `systemctl start clamav-freshclam` start a freshclam process? Sounds like it does and since it was already running you couldn't run another.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
