Not sure why you'd scan your whole system. Personally, on a Linux
system using it the way you are, I'd only be interested in scanning
user directories and maybe /tmp. You'll probably get an easier,
cleaner output if you try this:

# clamscan -i -r /

Then it's only showing the infected files. You'll have an easier time
reading the output now.

And don't run as root - that can be dangerous.
