Hello,

I am noticing clamscan running as root

`
/usr/bin/clamscan -d /usr/local/maldetect/sigs/rfxn.ndb -d /usr/local/maldetect/sigs/rfxn.hdb -d /var/lib/clamav -r --infected --no-summary -f /usr/local/maldetect/tmp/.find.24277
`

Any tips why could this be still running?

Howdy,

That looks like you’re running the Linux Malware Detect program, found here:

[http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/](http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/)

By default, that runs once a night from cron.

Ooops, sorry, I will investigate this. Thank you very much.
