## Adding new system user and group

If you are installing ClamAV for the first time, you have to add a new user and group to your system: 3

    	# groupadd clamav
    	# useradd -g clamav -s /bin/false -c "Clam AntiVirus" clamav

Consult a system manual if your OS has not groupadd and useradd utilities. The account should be locked in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
