How do I check the versions of my current software on my system
I know that Uname -v is the OS
perl -v gives me the perl version
what if I want to check ClamAv and Spamassassin?
 
Running pkg_version -v could take a while and produces a list of all installed packages. If you just want a quick look at one or a few package version(s):

Code: 
pkg_info -xI <pkgname>

The benefit of pkg_version -v is that it tells you if your package is out of date, and if it is, what the latest version is. Again, if you're just wanting to check one or a few package(s):

Code: 
pkg_version -v -X -s <pkgname>
 
OK that works super cool
I have everything working now I just need to update my virus database with clamav but im not sure how I tried to google it a little but I cant really come up with anything concrete.

These forums are awesome heh ive learned so much its crazy
 
If you have ports-mgmt/portupgrade installed, you can check with portversion -v, which is about 10 times faster than pkg_version.
