clamav and freshclam update failures

[Jan]

Sorry Jan but I can't help with that one. I didn't get that error when I did it and I'm now at the extent of my knowledge.
My only suggestion is to remove clamav, delete all clamav related files and start with a fresh install of clamav as per Jerry's how to tutorial.
If you still get the above error after that then someone else will need to help out because I don't know the answer.

Thank you, Ridenotwalk, for all your efforts to help solve this one. 

I did follow your suggestion above to remove the clamav and reinstall as per Jerry's tutorial but still get the same message:

^Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory.
