I upgraded clamav to 0.85.1 last Wednesday and I still get these messages:

Jun 14 08:25:09 gw-mail MailScanner[5408]: Commercial scanner clamav timed
out!
Jun 14 08:25:09 gw-mail MailScanner[5408]: Virus Scanning: Denial Of Service
attack detected!

I don't remember ever seeing these before and I couldn't find anything with
a google or ClamAV site/archive search.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what these are and whether I should be
concerned, or are these messages not even generated by MailScanner? (in
which case I'll post to the clamav list)

Thanks
Ken
