CentOS 7 and my experience with clamav 99.2 from epel repository: instead of --nofork you need --foreground=yes nofork parameter is definitly outdated. See man clamd.conf and https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58763 with the necessary changes in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/clamd.service Best regards -- Viele Grüße Helmut Drodofsky Internet XS Service GmbH Heßbrühlstraße 15 70565 Stuttgart Geschäftsführung Dr.-Ing.
