You may find this information helpful: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ You can boot to single user mode and explore the startup scripts and logs to see if any clues pop up. If nothing else you can attempt to disable the startup script for ClamAV and any subsequent suspicious processes. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
