Hi

I install clam AV an now i does reseave mails

In the antivirus panel under
Current list of problem messages:
Error: Cannot connect to /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock.

Whats wrong? I have install clam av with the installer script

[markehle]

Type "clamd" (no quotes)at a root console. It should take off.

My server does the same thing. clamd will not start up automatically by itself for some reason.

Cheers -

Hi.

It all started with that I noticed my Harddrive was busy all the time, and the server answer time was up to 4 - 5 minutes.

I then updated ClamAV via http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/

After I rebooted, the server was okay fore a while and then again the harddrive was running crazy again.

When I run TOP the CPU was not over 10 % on both CPU's so ??

It help to stop the clamd.

My logfile tells me that:
