ERROR: TCP: bind() error: Address already in use

How can i resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Clamd is already running. Use clamdscan to scan files / directories.

Then I think ClamAV is unable to remove virus -
Fun UST Scandal .ave .exe from SuSE linux system.
Any help?

Just I had been to the link, they say that ClamAV can not disinfect files.
Any more suggestions for disinfecting my pc from "Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe"

You really want to look inside, don't you! :-)

You need to find a scanner that can disinfect if you want to open the file (DANGER!). It may not be possible, depending upon the virus.

Having a file with a virus attached does not mean your system is infected. Do you have reason to believe your system has some Linux-specific virus? If not, just delete the file.
