one question?

why did you post a how-to which has absolutely nothing to do with
networking in the networking forum?

it would have been perfect to post it to:

I support that Howtos shouldgo in the Howtos sunforum (seems at least rather logical to me).

And I want to add that most Linux users do not run Clamav or any other AV software (apart from the fact that Linux is allready a good AV tool in itself). Only eception is when they have to deal with files coming and going from/to Windows systems and thus want to suppress Windows viruses as a service to the poor Windows users.
