A month ago, not sure how but maybe ClamAV got installed during the software update 'apt-get update' & apt-get upgrade'

I complete tried to remove the clamAV using remove or purge, then followed below command to completely remove the package from webpage: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1114606:

sudo apt-get --purge remove clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam libclamav2

now I do not find anything on clamav in my system

ikhan@ik0:~$ apt list --installed | grep clam
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

ikhan@ik0:~$ apt list --installed | grep fresh
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
     
ikhan@ik0:~$ dpkg --list | grep clam
ikhan@ik0:~$ 
ikhan@ik0:~$ dpkg --list | grep fresh
ikhan@ik0:~$

But I keep getting this pop-up about the ClamAV daemon is not installed.

Could someone help to completely remove it !!

Try `sudo apt update && sudo apt -f install`. Post the output if it didn't work.

@Someone, hey.. did you have the chance to look into the requested output ?

Yes, I saw the outputs now. Try running `dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep clamav | grep -v lib | xargs sudo apt purge --autoremove` Also, try `sudo systemctl disable clamav-freshclam && sudo systemctl disable clamav-daemon`

when I try to run the purge command, it locates the package but aborts in the end automatically. ikhan@ikhan-T490:~$ sudo dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep clamav | grep -v lib | xargs sudo apt purge --autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: linux-hwe-5.4-headers-5.4.0-96* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

@Someone, do you suggest I remove all those packages manually ?; https://pastebin.pl/view/83f685c1

Noooooooo! Those packages are necessary. Please give the output of `dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep clamav` also did you try the other command? Oh wait, the packages are probably getting removed because of auto remove. It means that there are no instances of ClamAV on your machine.

When I check with the above dpkg command it doesn't list anything. Thus, it tells me that the ClamAV instance is not installed. But idk why I keep getting this notification 'ClamAV daemon is not installed, please install it.'

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.
