[clamav-users] on-access scan

[Z F]

I have noticed in  /var/log/clamav/clamav.log

Sun Aug  7 01:14:28 2016 -> ERROR: ScanOnAccess: fanotify_init failed: Operation not permittedSun Aug  7 01:14:28 2016 -> ScanOnAccess: clamd must be started by root

in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
I had User clamav
then I changed to User rootand rebooted but this did not helpnot sure if even User should be set to root. I thought clamav is better choice
thank you very much for your help

 Dear clamav
I have used these instructions to setup on-access scan 
ClamAV® blog: Configuring On-Access Scanning in ClamAV


canOnAccess trueOnAccessIncludePath /home/user/DownloadsOnAccessPrevention true
OnAccessExtraScanning true
the installed version is 
0.99+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1

on ubutnu 16.04grep FANOTIFY /boot/config-4.4.0-31-generic CONFIG_FANOTIFY=yCONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
I have made a test virus file

but the test file can be still accessed.
could someone suggest what I did wrong?thank you
ZF
