High Virtual memory consuming

Hello All, Newbie here without deep linux / webmin knowledge.
I’ve experienced in the last two days that my server is consuming high percentage virtual memory.

I’ve checked the Apache server and only Googlebot and bingbot is crawling my server, in the last months I’ve declined a lot of IPs of web crawlers that were eating my ram.

In the running processes I see that there’s the ClamAV using a lot of memory, but I don’t know, how to access the ClamAV by GUI or what should I do to take the memory usage low

Any recommendation would be appreciated, thank you in advance-

How much ram does your server have?

What is the size of your swap file?

Unless you have plenty of RAM spare turn it off.

Each virtual server need to be disabled first.

This is a non-issue. Nothing is wrong.

You can disable Virus scanning and turn off the ClamAV service. There is no way to make ClamAV small, but you can turn it off, if you don’t want/need it.

Thanks everyone, I try to ignore it.
