+HAVP (HTTP Antivirus Proxy) is a proxy with a ClamAV anti-virus scanner.
+The main aims are continuous, non-blocking downloads and smooth scanning
+of dynamic and password protected HTTP traffic. Havp antivirus proxy has
+a parent and transparent proxy mode. It can be used with squid or standalone.
+
+This requires mandatory locks on the scanning find system unless you
+add --disable-locking to the configuration (enabled by default for
+performance).
+
+This requires clamav. Also, see README.setup for some configuration hints.
+
+You need an "havp" user (and a "clamav" group, due to the dependency on
+clamav noted above) to be present during compilation and installation.
+Suggested means of accomplishing this are as follows:
+ groupadd -g 210 clamav
+ useradd -u 256 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g clamav havp
