are you using any other signatures with Clam ? Have you tried clearing the main and daily directories and letting clam pull the signatures down again ?

Subject: clamd CPU problems?

Gang,

I've noticed in the last couple of days that the load has
shot up on my mailscanner system for extended periods, and 
clamd is the process sucking down the CPU cycles.  If I stop 
mailscanner and clamd, and then restart both, the load goes 
back to normal.  I've seen this in the syslogs during these
periods:

Oct 24 11:31:16 localhost MailScanner[29416]: Commercial scanner clamd timed out!
Oct 24 11:31:16 localhost MailScanner[29416]: clamd: Failed to complete, timed out

My Setup: Solaris 10, clamav-0.91.2, dcc-1.3.66, MailScanner
4.64.3-2, sophos-av 4.21.

Anybody else seeing this?  I wonder if there is some bad AV
signature that has been added in the last couple of days...
