Hi everyone,
I am running SME server 7.3 on an Intel Pentium 4 with 1Gb of Ram.
This morning I noticed 3 Zombie processes of freshclam. I tried to remove them using kill -9 but I could not manage. I decided to reboot the server and all worked fine for the first 2 hours or so.
However, after 3 hours, the first zombie came up again.

Is there a way I can troubleshoot the problem and see why this process is hanging?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
