[clamav-users] How to boost clamav? Reloading database results in a talking timeout?

I guess I kind of jumped the gun on this one, chalk it up to the
late-night message posting...

While it is an older linux distro with the init startup, I simply
moved ClamAV to near the end of the boot process... problem solved. I
noticed some people made that recommendation too.
