Re: ClamAV installation required?

Hey Tim,

no, I'm done now, then i will stay on the "Ubunturized" Version and done.
It's not  changable on simple way.
Hope other Users can confirm my problems too and ClamAV respective Cisco reports this to Ubuntu devs, if they removed in her Version stuff from default security features, this can't be in sense of ClamAV.

I really don't why the "Ubunturized" Version do always set different permissions and delete all my working config files and replaces it with default ones, before this Upgrade, all was working perfectly, so it's not needed for Ubuntu to change all and delete stuff.
