    I recently installed packages clamav, clamav-base and clamav-freshclam,
    but not clamav-daemon. Whenever freshclam (running
    from /etc/cron.d/clamav-freshclam) updates the database, it mails me an
    error message: "ERROR: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't find or parse
    configuration file /etc/clamav/clamav.conf".

    Is /etc/clamav.conf required only if running the daemon?
