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.

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.
