First off, thanks for all your help guys. It turns out patience was my worst enemy. It took more than 5-10 minutes for clamd to start up and create the socket. All is well now, guess its time to upgrade clamav.

The 0.91.2 release fixed this pause for me. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
