When I cancel clamdscan by using ctrl-c or killall clamdscan  the

clamd will automatically detect that clamdscan disconnected and terminate the

Thanks Tomasz, I've just tried that but it's still not doing the right thing. Here's what I've done:

Started clamd
clamdscan /Users/mark/someReallyLargeFile.dmg
CTRL-C to cancel

At this point, clamd is still using lots of CPU cycles and when I check to see which files are in use, it shows someReallyLargeFile.dmg as still being open by clamd.

I then tried clamdscan /Users/mark/someTiny3KBfile.txt which scanned and correctly returned no infection but someReallyLargeFile.dmg is still open and in use by clamd which is still taking up some 60% CPU time.

Thanks,
Mark
