I did what you asked me to do and it seems that the problem is not in
clamav. The files in question are marked as having a size of 4096, but
when I open them I only get a few bytes of data. The strange thing is
that they are all in /sys. Some in /sys/module, some in /sys/kernel and
some in /sys/hypervisor.

Have you encountered anything like this before? Are these special files
that should not be scanned? If so, what directories should I exclude?

I was guessing that was going to be the case when I saw your mail. Yes, exclude: /dev /proc and /sys

OK. Sorry for the confusion.

Shouldn't this be in the FAQ (or was I just too blind to find it?)? I'd hate to think that I am the only one making this mistake.

Best regards,

Hauke
