Thanks, Shawn. No, I have no clamd running.

In fact, this is my first time installing clamav. I read the book "Pro
Open Source Mail" and it says not to install the package clamav-server. 

My problem was not editting /etc/freshclam.conf
and /etc/sysconfig/freshclam ( I missed two pages in the book, I should
have had some coffee :) )
