Uninstall ClamAV

[SajtXL]

Anyone that has an roadmap for an uninstall of ClamAV on an CentOS 4.4.
I have mess up everything, I think a remove of ClamAV should be best solution for me.

I'm not sure how to uninstall it (you didn't even say how you installed it), but if you comment out calls to it in /etc/exim.conf, and restart exim, that should keep it from being called.

This might work:

# cd /etc

• Debian: # dpkg --remove clamav*
• Redhat/Fedora: # yum remove clamav*
• Mandriva: # urpme clamav
• Gentoo: # emerge -C clamav
• FreeBSD?: # pkg_deinstall -f security/clamav*
• Slackware: # /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav stop; removepkg clamav

Then u can decide to get rid of the few files that were kept as backup:
# rm /etc/freshclam.conf.*
# rm /var/run/clamav/*
# rmdir /var/run/clamav/
# rm /usr/local/bin/clamd
# rm /usr/local/lib/libcl*
...


btw, after this, I used Weals update script to try it again, and thusfar it looks okay again =)
Just a reminder, to change the line in exim.conf to: av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd

yum remove clamav*
will remove only version not installed with custom build?

Yes, because CustomBuild does not use RPM packages for ClamAV.
