Running /etc/init.d/clamd start on my but throws the following as I
haven't used clamd before. 

linux:/etc/init.d # ./clamd start Starting Clam AntiVirus daemon 
  Virus definition file /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd is missing.
  Either install the clamav-db package or run freshclam 
  to get the virus definitions.unused 

Now running freshclam as the stated error message suggested"
linux:/etc/init.d # freshclam 
ClamAV update process started at Mon Jan 15 02:57:12 2007

(IP: 63.166.28.8) ERROR: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd

Now running /etc/init.d/clamd start 
linux:/etc/init.d # ./clamd start
Starting Clam AntiVirus daemon     done


It now starts.


Thank you
