Thank you for the reply Ralf. I really had no idea about systemd. I
guess I'm too used to the other way of starting a service just by
running sudo service (foo) start/stop/restart. I am going to have to do
some reading. I ran:

chris at localhost:~$ sudo systemctl restart clamav-daemon.service

then

chris at localhost:~$ systemctl status clamav-daemon.service

I'm still seeing -  (Cannot connect to unix socket

I have no earthly idea where it's getting that path since I don't have
it in any of my .conf files.
