I may have just stumbled across a file sample that has this same behavior.  I will investigate and respond when I know more.

Hi Jeremy,

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having this issue.  Can you open a ticket on https://bugzilla.clamav.net/ and attach one or two sample .js cache files that are causing the problem so I could try it out?

clamd gets stuck at 100% cpu usage with


ScanOnAccess yes

OnAccessMountPath /

ScanHTML yes


Turning off ScanHTML fixes the problem.

A particular file causing the problem was a firefox cache entry containing a .js from youtube.  There seem to be a number of websites that trigger this.


Did I misconfigure something?  Is there a better fix than turning of ScanHTML?
