Hi Again,
Thanks to Frank Chan and Shuttlebox for their previous responses. I've
since moved forward but maybe because I am a bit green to unix
administration these instructions are not specific enough at times.

1) http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node11.html
The top instructions tell you to create in the home directory for
unprivileged accounts, then the instructions to test below are asking
you to run from root which ultimately leads to an error. I instead went
to my /home/don directory and ran "freshclam" and "clamscan":

[EMAIL PROTECTED] clamav-0.93.1]# freshclam
ERROR: Please edit the example config file
/usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf.
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can't parse the config file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
 
I cannot find clamd.conf to reference for guidance either. Stuck here,
moving on.
 
 
2) http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node13.html
This page talks about:
 "Once you have created the clamav user and group, please extract the
archive: 
        $ zcat clamav-x.yz.tar.gz | tar xvf -
        $ cd clamav-x.yz"
OK then, where is this archive?? Tried to find it and found nothing,
stuck again, moving on.
3) http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/html/node14.html
Tried to run ./configure --enable-milter and it failed looking for
libmilter










checking for library containing strlcpy... no
checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmilter
