Clamav and Amavis-new

Dear Experts
MTA: POSTFIX

I have to configure the Clamav, and Amavis-new, with postfix.
1, Plz help me config and integrate Amavis-new,with Clamav.
2, I am a bit confused...plz clear me,.., Clamav and Amavis-new both are antivirus/mail-scanner... ok, then why should i config both.
3, Almost all tutorials(i found via googling) discuss amavis-new, with Clamav, and spamassassin.. since i also dont know Clamav, and spamassasin.. this cause me more confused.
Is there any tutorial that just discuss the amavis-new.. without clamav, and spamassassin integration.

Plz help

Shalom,

Spamassassin is implemented as a scanner with the /etc/procmailrc file.

I would think that anti-virus is implemented the same way.

The second link may have a good example.

I'm not a big fan of anti-virus on Linux, but I guess we must protect our Windows users right?
