I've never seen such a service, are you sure that there is meant to be one?

To get clamd (clamav-server) working, I wrote a script to set up an
instance of it:

I do hope there's a better way to do it, so if you know of/discover
one, please let us know!

We use clamd at work to bulk scan files that come in, and it's useful
for integration into mail servers, etc.

clamscan is useful for fixing people's Windows machines :-)
