clamscan and f-prot are there, but the others aren't....I expected that,
since I installed clamav and f-prot on this system.
as well as checking those locations, i did a 'find / -type f -name
executable_name -print' for each of those files to make sure they weren't
living somewhere else on my system, and they weren't.

This isn't a huge issue for me because MailScanner is working perfectly
otherwise, i just wonder why MailScanner thinks its updating virus scanners
that aren't installed?
