Clamav Found generic installed

After updating my Mail Scanner and clam-av virus scanner, Clamav database was not updating. Then I found the error message in the mailscanner log

Error : Found generic installed

mailserver ClamAV-autoupdate[13274]: ClamAV updater clamav/bin/freshclam cannot be run
mailserver update.virus.scanners: Found generic installed
mailserver update.virus.scanners: Running autoupdate for generic

After removing the mirrors.dat I ran freshclam again, it starter working.

For my server

#locate mirrors.dat
 /var/lib/clamav/mirrors.dat
#rm /var/lib/clamav/mirrors.dat
#freshclam
#update_virus_scanners
