Comment 4 for bug 1021355

okay yes doing sudo service clamav-deamon start then starting clamour
worked. No that I have done that the first time, I can get it to start even
after a reboot now.

Now if I try and scan any files and folders it reports that Couldn't scan
<my file or folder> lstat() failed: Permission denied

even if I scan stuff in my home folder or usb device.

Would you like me to submit another bug for this?
