Betr.: Update Clamav

[Arjan Melein]

If you go with compiling from source, make sure you do not have the RPM's installed.
If you want to use RPM's, get the SRPM's and build from that, which makes future updates easier but can cause issues if your distro has clamav in its repo's and releases something slightly newer.
There are plenty of howto's on how to set up 'rpmbuild' for first use.

If, after installing your own new version, MS hates you and can't find clamav or wont update it, check the virus.scanners.conf and clamav-autoupdate files.
Other then that it should pretty much be as straightforward as you already said, just make sure you don't end up with different versions installed at the same time :-)
