[clamav-users] How to get rid of or Fix clamonacc error

[newcomer01]

Hi Tim,

have you seen this: https://www.mankier.com/8/clamonacc?
Maybe you can uninstall the clamonacc daemon (sudo apt-get uninstall clamonacc?) if you don't need the features of ClamAV Scan OnAccess.

A big HDD takes really long time for scanning.
In my case with a really huge list of exceptions (YOU MUST SET EXCEPTIONS!) the scan never finished at any time.
It runs here over 12 hours and as explained before with no automatic stop (manually stopped and go to bed).

kind greetings
Marc
