Recent commentsno clamd daemon - PLEASE HELP
I've installed via yum clamav on fc5 and I got everything besides clamd. I have clamd manual but no daemon. I have clamd in /usr/sbin but when I try to run it from there - instead of "service clamd start" - it tells me clamd.conf does not exist. when I run "service clamd start" it says clamd not recongnized...
please help...

AVScan updated for ClamAV 0.80
AVScan has been updated to function with the new ClamAV 0.80 API

Thank you
Great software! Easy to use. A daemon, some command line tools, two configuration files. Excellent documentation (incl. man pages).
The classic UNIX way: small and beautiful.
And it works and is really fast. :)
