After the 4 dpkg-reconfigure runs, things seem to be working. That was the end result mentioned above. That nothing in /etc/clamav changed after the fresh re-install (after purging) was interesting. It is hard to see the config files as being broken, if they weren't changed by any of the dpkg-reconfigure runs. As I asked, I could easily purge them all again, and reinstall again, to check other things (/var/run ?). Something must have changed, in order for things to be working now, but not after the initial install. Gord
