Very simple: If you have installed ClamAV under /usr/local then  
that's what needs to be in virus.scanners.conf. If you use my Clam+SA  
package, you will find it automatically corrects virus.scanners.conf  
for you.

Please don't start tweaking my wrapper or autoupdate scripts. You are  
asking (and deserve) a whole world of pain when you upgrade and  
forget to reinstall your "tweak".
