[clamav-users] temporary directories left in /var/lib/clamav

[Steven Morgan]

Hi,

Any temporary files left by "normal" ClamAV processing is considered to be
a bug. Temporary files may be left if a ClamAV component terminates
ungracefully. Do you have any other logs or know of any other events from
June 3 that may provide additional info about these files left in the temp
directory?
