ClamAV: clamscan seems to stall on scanning mounted Windows partition
While using Linux live-CD's to repair infected Windows system, clamscan seems to stall. At least, the LED's I would expect to be on during this operation, the 'hard drive activity' and 'CD activity', go off, both drives stop making noise. Checking "htop", clamscan is listed, but isn't...moving resource-wise. Also in "htop": Memory usage stays constant and low, but CPU usage is all the way at 100% and not moving. I can use other consoles and run other programs without issue, but clamscan just seems to start off well, then hit a point and stall.
I've heard that ClamAV is slow on scanning, but should it really be taking 2 hours on an .exe of 2MBs? And without showing sign of its effort in the process list?
