[clamav-users] clamav stops boot

[Greg Mueller]

I just let it run and run and about 24 hours later I got to a debian 5 terminal login and logged in.
I deleted clamav and all it's affiliated files and now I can boot to the login in a normal manner.

Now if I can just get a gui running........

 The stalled boot may have nothing to do with ClamAV - it
 could very well be the next thing that the init process is
 trying to start. 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.
