"freshclam" showed everything up to date, also "freshclam" after deleting *.cld and *.cvd didn't help. There were no error messages in any log when directly starting clamd from command line. "service clamd start" shows some "timed out" message.

Reading database took about 30s on Nov 28th (and before), after the antimalware update on Nov 29th the service continously timed out.

"yum history" shows that clearsdn-antimalware had been updated:



I cannot undo this update because yum cannot download the old version anymore.

I therefore uninstalled everything related to antimalware (gateway-antivirus, clam*, dans*, intrusion*, etc.) and reinstalled step by step. Now everthing is running as before, clamd loads the database again in 30s.

Interestingly the same happed on the other system at the same time, I'll try to repair this one tomorrow.
