Hi Bernard,
Have you tried using clamdscan, instead of clamscan ?
Using clamdscan brings up more questions.
clamdscan works pretty well with the option --fdpass.
However, the scan process is still using 98% of one CPU, even if I do a
"sudo renice 19 <clamd pid>".
On a dual core, it leaves a processor free for me to work during the
scan... I'm still looking for a way of running clamd in a more silent
manner.
