      I must be lucky then.. I have it working using squid3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.6 on i386… Of course I can't remember if I had to do some work around...

      Come to think of it, I think I may had to change folder permissions /var/log/c-icap and /var/log/clamav to be clamav:wheel and make sure clwarn.cgi is browser accessible

      Just did a test to make sure its still working:

      SquidClamAv 6.10: Virus detected!

      The requested URL http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.txt contains a virus

        As i wrote I'm on x64 and the folder creation and permission stuff is shown in the link and something i tried.

        But i can't execute freshclam cause there is no clwarn.cgi on my system.
        And as the forum searchs show - I'm not the only one with this problems.

          Cino - Cool.  Then its possible with squid3 as well.

          At the time that I tried it I had issues with that and no particular need for squid 3 over 2.

          But its good to know its possible.

                Hmmmm…

                Sorry.  I guess I'm not helping.
                My next move might be to wipe the box and start fresh following that guide on a fresh install.

                That will be a controversial suggestion.

                  freshclam only updates the virus definitions. From what I can tell, the package wasn't setup to enable this for some reason but I was able to get it run.

                  edit /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/freshclam.conf to your liking. then run this from the cmdline

                  
                  /usr/pbi/squid-i386/bin/freshclam -d /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/freshclam.conf
                  
                  

                  Auto start on reboots, create file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/freshclam.sh with 755

                  
                  #!/bin/sh
                  # This file was automatically generated
                  # by the pfSense service handler.
                  
                  rc_start() {
                  	/usr/pbi/squid-i386/bin/freshclam -d /usr/pbi/squid-i386/etc/freshclam.conf
                  }
                  
                  rc_stop() {
                  	killall freshclam
                  }
                  
                  case $1 in
                  	start)
                  		rc_start
                  		;;
                  	stop)
                  		rc_stop
                  		;;
                  	restart)
                  		rc_stop
                  		rc_start
                  		;;
                  esac
                  
                  

                  I copied /usr/pbi/squid-i386/libexec/squidclamav/clwarn.cgi to /usr/local/www/clwarn.cgi

                  adjust squid-i386 to squid-amd64 if your running amd64

                    i haven't tried it on amd64… It could be that the binaries are compiled run if you founded http://egoncalves.com.br/pfsense/pfsense-squid3-dev-clamav-i386/ cause that how-to looks basically what I did to get it to run..

                      @Cino, ok i will give it another try.

                      I'm on 2.2 Beta cause i run in Hyper-V and it looks like there is not really a stable and working Squid:
                      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=82232.msg450075#msg450075

                      Found it cause i wanted to try Squid3 and you can't install it.

                        I was able to get squid3-dev running on 2.2 using the work around in the first post in that thread. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=82232.msg449847#msg449847

                        I didn't try all the feature in squid tho, just got it to run and used it over the weekend. I'd like to move to 2.2 but not ready (no time) tweak all the packages i use

                          No luck >:(
                          I did:

                          killall squid
                          cd /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/
                          cp -r ./local/* /usr/local/
                          rm -rf ./local
                          ln -s /usr/local ./local
                          sync
                          squid
                          /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/bin/freshclam -d /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/etc/freshclam.conf
                          cp -p /usr/pbi/squid-amd64/libexec/squidclamav/clwarn.cgi /usr/local/www/
                          pw useradd clamav -G wheel
                          pw usermod clamav -G wheel
                          mkdir /var/log/clamav
                          chmod 777 /var/log/clamav
                          mkdir /var/db/clamav
                          chmod 777 /var/db/clamav
                          mkdir /var/run/clamav
                          chmod 777 /var/run/clamav
                          chmod 775 /usr/local/www/clwarn.cgi
                          freshclam
                          

                          The log is full of:

                          Squid_Alarm[42503]: Squid has exited. Reconfiguring filter.

                          What is the right way to disable squid without uninstalling?
                          Stoping the service does not allow me to surf the web.
                          Sure i can write here cause the side is ssl - but i can't browse plain http
                          as long squid is installed.

                          EDIT:
                          Stupid me - disable transparent and i can surf
