Hi Carlos Velasco Our RHEL 6.8 runs on an IBM Power 8 server(ppc64), for which we dont' have a ClamAV package. So I had to compile it from source. I have uninstalled the old version and installed the *ClamAV 0.99.2. *
So I can confirm that I have only one instance running. Here's the detailed info. # which clamd /usr/local/sbin/clamd # whereis clamd clamd: /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf # cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter /usr/local/bin/freshclam -d # ps -ef | grep clamd clamav 6776 1 0 May15 ? 00:00:01 clamd root 10956 10925 0 09:40 pts/0 00:00:00 grep clamd # clamd status ERROR: LOCAL: Socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.socket is in use by another process. # lsof | grep clamd.socket clamd 6776 clamav 5u unix 0xc000000003692480 0t0 72993 /var/run/clamav/clamd.socket Thanks Kishore ----------- >* Yes, I usually verify after running any command.

I haven't a RHEL at hand right now, but check with any of this: which clamd whereis clamd If you see two different clamd (maybe one on /usr/local/...) that's because you are seeing your problems, and you should fix it changing your status script (init.d?) probably.
