Ah, the good ole days :-)

Agreed.

Not sure on that, I still use clamavmodule as you don't *have* to update 
to the latest ClamAV the day it is released. The previous version will 
carry on working just fine for quite a while. One of these days I might 
jump ship to clamd, but not yet.

My ClamAV+SpamAssassin package will ask you if you want it to install 
ClamAV or not. If you choose not, then it will ask you where your 
current clamscan is installed so that it can work out what directories 
to set and where. So you don't have to edit my install script or 
anything nasty like that, it handles it all in a relatively intelligent 
manner (I hope that's what people see, anyway!).
