 ### Set a port

-Edit the clamd.conf 
+1\. Edit the clamd.conf 

     sudo vim /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

-and set a port by adding the option 
+2\. Comment out the _Example_ line in the config file, which tells the system to use it. So find _Example_, and replace with: 
+    
+    #Example
+    
+
+3\. Next we set the port to listen on. Find the _TCPSocket_ entry and set it to 

     TCPSocket 3310

+
+**Result:** Now when we start the ClamAV daemon, it will open and run on port 3310. 

 See http://linuxreviews.org/man/clamd.conf/ for a list of options for this config file.
