After you do that, forget about the clamav you downloaded. Just type these commands into the console:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clamav
You can also use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager to do it graphically (the "Reload" button is the equivalent of the sudo apt-get install command; marking for installation and then clicking "Apply" is the equivalent of sudo apt-get install clamav).
thanx, but i already did all that stuff, i have already downloaded clamav, it is on my system, i just cant get it to work, i already have the repositories. i have all the codecs and everything, i just cant get mplayer to work right in mozilla, still need help
