How to Remove/uninstall MailScanner !!

To remove MailScanner and the MailScanner Front-End, run these commands in shell as root:
cd /usr/mscpanel
sh uninstall.msfe.sh

cd /root
wget http://www.configserver.com/free/msinstall.tar.gz
tar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz
cd msinstall/
sh uninstall.sh
Remove the sare rules and MailScanner-specific SpamAssassin configuration files (in shell as root):
cd /etc/mail/spamassassin/
rm -fv *sare* configserver.cf mailscanner.cf
To remove the MailScanner Configuration icon from cPanel, go to WHM > Packages > Feature Manager. Edit the “disabled” Feature List and uncheck the box for MailScanner Configuration.
Remove the root cron jobs that run mscpanel.pl, sa_rules.sh (or rules_du_jour), and the cronjob that restarts clamd (in shell as root):
crontab -e
Remove the following lines (if they exist – they may or may not be there) from /scripts/postupcp:
#!/bin/sh
perl /usr/mscpanel/mscheck.pl
Reset Exim Configuration (if desired), in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Reset All Configs to Defaults. This is not required. To remove our install of clamav, run these commands in shell as root:
killall clamd

/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/bin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/sbin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/lib/libclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/share/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/include/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/bin/freshclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/etc/clamav*
/bin/rm -Rfv /var/clamd

/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/bin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/sbin/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/lib/libclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/share/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/include/clam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/bin/freshclam*
/bin/rm -Rfv /usr/local/etc/clamav*
/bin/rm -fv /etc/init.d/clamd
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.daily/freshclam
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.hourly/freshclam
/bin/rm -fv /etc/cron.d/freshclam
In WHM > Service Configuration > Service Manager > Additional Services uncheck both boxes for clamav.
You can then install clamavconnector via WHM > Manage Plugins if desired. if you want to re-enable SpamAssassin through cPanel:
WHM > Tweak Settings > SpamAssassin > tick
WHM > Service Manager > spamd > tick both boxes
WHM > Feature Manager > Edit a Feature List > disabled > Edit > SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin Spam Box > tick
WHM > Feature Manager > Edit Feature List – edit any feature lists that you want to allow access to the SpamAssassin configuration in cPanel
