LocalSocketGroup was already set to clamav, and the mode is 666.

dpkg-reconfigure for clamav didn't appear to do anything, no files 
altered in /etc/clamav

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base asked questions, no files changed.

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon asked questions, no files changed.

dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam asked questions, no files 
changed.  It appears that freshclam updated properly, and was able 
to contact the daemon as part of how dpkg-reconfigure finished for 
freshclam.  It would seem that the reconfigures did something, but 
none of the changed were in /etc/clamav.

Want me to purge, reinstall and check something else?
