Copies made with date and time in a newly created backup directory.

This I would do all the time as that way you can see what was there and
when you changed it.

Apart from LocalSocket entry my conf is OK. My socket entry read
'/var/lib/clamav/clamd-socket' so I changed it to what you had and
created the clamav dir under /var/run/ and assigned the owner and group
to vscan.

Did a 'rcclamd restart' and it failed :( Below is error message:

Umalusi:~ # rcclamd restart

What now?

I needed to create the clamac directory under run and assigned it to
user and group vscan.

IF......but there were errors that need repairing first.

I have reverted to the backup copy for the moment and done a rcclamd
restart successfully.
