Yes, I see the clamd process. I tried to kill and restart it  many times,
but when I run the 'clamd status' I get the same error about the socket
file. Earlier when I was running the older version, I used to see the
complete details about the clamd status including the version number I was
running and what the latest status of that clamd. Now I just get the error
which I am not sure if it is giving me the right output.
