Hullo there,
Our server is running nearly constantly at 100% cpu usage, the culprit being clamscan.
Server is running debian stable, so clamav version is 0.90.1-2
I see a bug reported here http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425661
which seems to be for a later version so there's not much point in upgrading clamav.
Are you running clamav as a daemon? How are things getting passed to clamscan? Is this part of mailserver setup? What are you running as the mail server? If it is part of the mailserver - where is it putting the files before scanning them?
As far as I can tell from that bug report, that's only saying that it will use 100% CPU at startup.
Cheers,
