Install Clamav on Fedora

I decided this morning to install antivirus on my desktop running Fedora 13.
I had to do some looking around before I finally got it installed.
First
yum install clamav-scanner
yum install clamav-update

Second
cp /usr/share/doc/clamav-server-0.96.1/clamd.conf /etc/clamd.conf

Third
vim /etc/clamd.conf /etc/freshclam.conf

Follow the instructions in the file where it says:
# Comment or remove the line below.
Example

If you see errors like below refer to above.
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/freshclam.conf.
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can't parse the config file /etc/clamd.conf
