Freshclam uses its own configuration file: freshclam.conf You should comment or delete the "Example" line. You should add a database mirror with the standard country specific notation, i.e. DatabaseMirror db.np.clamav.net where I have copied your country code (from your email address); if there is no mirror for your country you should change that setting to some other near country. Those are the 2 important settings, take a look at the others, they have valid default values but you may have to make changes and it's always better to know what is available. > I am a linux newbie so please consider me.

In clamd.conf (used by the daemon) you want to comment or delete the "Example" line. Other than that the options depend on what you want to do, for instance if you are using a 3rd party mail scanner that uses clamd, then the configurations for both have to agree on how they are going to communicate, either a UNIX socket (with a name just like any file) or using a TCP socket on a specific port number.
