Updating the Clam+SA package of mine, you just install the new one over 
the top of the previous one, like my normal upgrades of MailScanner. It 
won't over-write your conf files and settings, it will just tack on the 
new loadplugin lines onto the bottom of your old v310.pre file. After 
installing ClamAV, it will enable it by commenting out the "Example" 
lines in freshclam.conf and whatever the other conf file is called 
(clamav or clamd.conf or something like that).
