ms, sanesecurity, clamd and freebsd

[Rick Cooper]

Or you can just remove the offending /i. It's not valid in MAC or FreeBSD
and I removed it from the script I was maintaining in July.

Clam_Db_Dir=`${clamscan} --debug $tmp_dir/test.file 2>&1 | grep -m 1 -i -E \
'loading databases from.*clamav\/?$'| sed "s/.*oading databases from //"`

Works fine and it's os dependant
