[clamav-users] Use on linux operating systems

[Paul Kosinski]

As well as mail scanning, we use CLAMAV with HAVP for HTTP scanning.
Although HAVP is not currently being developed, it seems to work OK.

P.S. HAVP uses the CLAMAV library directly to do the scanning, rather
than CLAMD or (worse) CLAMSCAN.
