Hello.

My updated 64-bit Debian's stable/Jessie's top shows "4959 clamav    20 
  0  106684  22856  12836 R 100.0  1.1   0:58.70 freshclam".

Its /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log's ending show:
Thu Jun  8 14:43:18 2017 -> --------------------------------------
Thu Jun  8 14:43:18 2017 -> freshclam daemon 0.99.2 (OS: linux-gnu, 
ARCH: x86_64, CPU: x86_64)
Thu Jun  8 14:43:18 2017 -> ClamAV update process started at Thu Jun  8 
14:43:18 2017
Thu Jun  8 14:43:19 2017 -> main.cld is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 
4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
Thu Jun  8 14:43:22 2017 -> Downloading daily-23454.cdiff [100%]

I had to stop clamav-freshclam (via systemctl): clamav-freshclam.service 
to get my CPU back with "sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop" 
command. Log shows:
Thu Jun  8 14:45:02 2017 -> Update process terminated

It had been like this since last night PDT. Is it just me or are others 
having this issue too?

Thank you in advance. :)
