Freshclam AV suddenly using 50-80% CPU
#4
Okay, will do.

FWIW: A reboot seems to have fixed it, maybe it was just a fluke - "Freshclam -d --foreground=true" process now using 0% CPU in Task Man and temps are back to normal range. But at 0%, is it even doing anything, I wonder?

I have read all about not needing AV in Linux - but I am about to set up Samba shares between 10Gb NTFS data partition on laptop and Windows box, so better safe than sorry with what has been going on in the world of Win viruses lately.

This is a single-core Turion mobile CPU, and it is the bottleneck for the system. So anything to take a load off the CPU will help the whole system run smoother.

Should I run "sudo apt-get purge xxx" of all clamav files?

Here are the entries when I run "dpkg --list"
