This is the socket, and it is or should be created by the ClamAV daemon on startup. Check your ClamAV configuration for details, on Debian the config files are in '/etc/clamav' by default. If there is no entry specifying the location, check the ClamAV docs for the default location, which is probably somewhere in '/var/run' or similar. Mvg, Joni
