I think it would be a good idea for you to familiarize yourself
with that config file first. If you still can not figure it
out then tell us what you have for DatabaseMirror. Attachments
don't make it.

Hello Steven,

I setup under mentioned values:

DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net


# Uncomment the following line and replace XY with your country
# code. See http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list.
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net

I also want to know whether these ports need to be open at my firewall..
Which is specified in /etc/clamd.conf

# Limit port range.
# Default: 1024
StreamMinPort 30000
# Default: 2048
StreamMaxPort 32000

Thanks,
Parveen

So did it work?

Depends if you need to communicate with those ports from something outside
of your firewall. If you don't plan on making calls to this clamd server
from remote boxes then you won't need to.

There is a line called Example, you need to remove it or comment it out.
