Doing what you did is like walking around with a loaded gun in your hand, with the safety off, and your finger on the trigger. Don't know why you can't delete those files if your user is truly root. You could always boot a Fedora DVD and go into "rescue" mode and delete files from there. If I were in your shoes I would forget about clamav and just backup all data and install F17 from scratch. And when you install clamav, I'd do it from the Fedora repos and not download and compile from source like I think you were doing. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
