ClamAV setup

Some guru on youtube suggested you install ClamAV.  I have installed it and loaded in the DB.  The load instruction line and Load button have gone away.  I got this warning message in the log:
2025-01-05T06:04:22-06:00   Warning   freshclam   Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock: No such file or directory

I don't think it is anything to worry about, but do I need to do anything about it?
Also, should there be anything listed in to Signatures page?  There is nothing there.

And what did unnamed guru suggest to perform actual content inspection? ClamAV on its own won't do anything but hang in the background and update its signature database from time to time. You have to feed it data to scan and then apply policies based on the result e.g. by using a Squid proxy for HTTP.

Well, I have decided to uninstall ClamAV.  There were no instructions beyond just installing it.  Not in the mood to break any horses trying to get ClamAV to do something.  I have never run an AV on any of my computers anyway and have never had any infections.  Thanks
