2 fold question

[Rick Cooper]

ClamAV uses the command line clamscan for scanning, is slow (have to load
dbs) and a bit of a resource hog, ClamAV module is a perl interface to
libclamav and is also a hog because it loads a copy of the db into memory
for each child but only has to do it when MailScanner loads that child the
first time. The best choice is neither, use clamd.
 
clamd shares the resources between children and thus the real memory per
child is much less and a far less load, is not perl. When MailScanner uses
clamd it talks directly to the clam daemon and doesn't have to load anything
at all, just tell the daemon where/what to scan
 
IMHO the same thing should be done with spamd, I wrote the code years ago
and it's really no faster (or at least negligibly so) but far less memory
and resources once again, than using the perl interface. It was difficult to
get Julian to incorporate the clamd code but he never did incorporate the
spamd code unfortunatly.

You could have a corrupted db file. wipe all files in
/usr/local/share/clamav/ and run freshclam .. see if it starts then.
