Removed ClamAV Integrated with LMD (Linux Malware Detect)

Geez, I tried everything to install ClamAV Integrated with LMD (Linux Malware Detect) and couldn't do it, which was frustrating for me. You managed to install and configure it and now you've ended up removing it from your Linux system, as you mentioned in your post #37, due to the consumption of resources on your system. I understand. Since I couldn't do it, I'll make a backup image of my Linux distro on this machine first, and then I'll format it and install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. In the future, maybe I'll come back to using Linux. :) Thank you for sharing all your tips on integrating ClamAV with LMD.(y)
