| description | clamav data files This package contains data files for clamav and was automatically generated by clamav-getfiles from the identically named package. If you have downloaded this package from an "official" Debian release, the databases contained here are most certainly outdated. Please check if you can use clamav-freshclam to do automatic updates, or use clamav-getfiles to generate your own clamav-data packages. If you can't obtain your own current database files, you can apt more recent database files from the Debian-volatile archive. See http://volatile.debian.net for details. |

More information about apt-get remove
Advanced Package Tool, or APT, is a free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on Debian, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. APT simplifies the process of managing software on Unix-like computer systems by automating the retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages, either from precompiled files or by compiling source code.
apt-get is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT library.
apt-get remove is identical to install except that packages are removed instead of installed. Note that removing a package leaves its configuration files on the system. If a plus sign is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be installed instead of removed.
