and have then gone to the 'Service Management' gui to start it off, but
there is nothing there for clamd nor freshclam.
Read the README in /usr/share/doc/clamav-server-*. It explains how to set
up the service scripts for the Extras version of clamd. It looks
complicated, but it really only takes about 10-15 minutes to copy all the
config files and create the symlinks. You need to do this for each client
of clamd. (I did it for MIMEDefang, and it was pretty straightforward.)
For freshclam, look at the crontab file in /etc/cron.d. You also need to
edit /etc/freshclam.conf to comment out the Example entry and set your
regional DNS name to use to check for new data files, and set the policy
for time to check.
