Yes I tested clamscan and it is working, I suppose clamavmodule should be working too then. We also use Sohpos so, after I wrote this message I disabled ClamAV and tried with just Sohpos: the same timeout occurred. So I deleted and reinstalled all of ClamAV. At first it didn't timeout but later it started again. Next I noticed SpamAssassin also started to timeout *a lot*. Since we suffered a crash because of poweroutage (it's quite silly: the UPS-es worked great and we would have survived it if it weren't for the airco's that were not connected to an external power aggregate. A lot of machines shutdown -some more, some less- because of heat problems) I figure we have data corruption or something. So, I'm not so sure if this is ClamAV related. Maybe this doesn't belong here... I'll continue searching.
