QUESTION: When I try to execute the command "clamd" I get the following message: ERROR: Please define server type (local and/or TCP) BACKGROUND; I worked in Bell Labs for 17 years, where I learned UNIX. After leaving, I got assistance from a former co-worker to install Linux on my laptop in 2002. Since then, I've used Fedora Red Hat versions 12, 24, and recently had my laptop upgraded to version 36. My experience with system administration is limited and I no longer have someone with UNIX/Linux admin knowledge to assist me. The person who installed Fedora v36 suggested I try CLAMD to get rid of a virus/whatever that apparently infected my Chrome browser when I went to a music site I had been using for several years; the site now causes continual pornographic pop-ups!! I also have a Firefox browser and used it to download a new Chrome after I deleted the infected one, but I still get the pop-ups. Was able to install CLAMD (rpm) and have read most of the man pages I could find, and checked what configuration files, etc., I could find, but still get the ERROR message. What do I need to read, edit, run, etc. to successfully get the "clamd" command to work. HELP, please!!!
