Thank you Josh for your time. Although I am an experienced computer person, I am from the dinosaur age. A time when we produced excellent systems which worked almost perfectly within a highly restricted environment; I refer specifically to IBM mini computers within local businesses.
I was just in the process of attempting to install ClamAv with the command line and Synaptic Package Manager. Amavisd-new was a requirement of this it would appear but there was a problem as we know. That's all I know because I find it irritating or impossible to go through a whole system process BEFORE I even attempt to install something. As a result I really have little idea what I was doing, or even why and why it went wrong. The error reporting was an automatic thing which I applaud, although I don't understand why it involves signing in to the remains of Ubuntu 1. I tell you all of this because I know you and many young people are immensely good at the whole Linux environment and I applaud such brilliance. However I wouldn't go as far as saying that I am jealous! Because there comes a time - even for the PC - when people ask themselves "why do I have to know all of this information?" "Shouldn't these things sort themselves out?" Also I say this in full knowledge (since I dual boot Win10) of how brilliant Ubuntu is in comparison. Still there must be some marketing reward for producing something that is even more robust, even more 'run it and relax'. Thank you for your time again, I decided that anti-virus was not necessary for Ubuntu since I have no virtual Win10 images.
