clam scanner not updating?

I'm a little confused about clamd for my system.

I have centos7 on a cloud I have logwatch and lately I realized that it was saying virus database is out of date.

if I run clamd: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option AllowSupplementaryGroups at /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf:199 LibClamAV Warning: ************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: *** The virus database is older than 7 days! *** LibClamAV Warning: *** Please update it as soon as possible. *** LibClamAV Warning: ************************************************** ERROR: LOCAL: Socket file /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock is in use by another process.

But doing freshclam doesn't work? I get freshclam -bash: freshclam: command not found If I do systemctl status clamd Unit clamd.service could not be found.

I recall I think in the virtualmin wizard I select to have clam scan start up, scan the email and shutdown I believe? its been so long I forget. But why can't I simply do freshclam to update its DB?
