I am getting these strange files in the root file system “/” on my linux servers.

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    98 Apr 13 08:00 @??E?U

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    75 Apr 26 08:00 @g6??U

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    75 Apr  1 08:00 @g)$?U

The files contain the error message.

ERROR: ClamClient: Connection to clamd failed, Couldn't resolve host name.

ClamScanQueue: stopped

I believe it is occurring when the clam services are restarted each day. 

Any idea how to route these errors messages elsewhere?

Thanks,
