You have on the original screen you screenshot for us: Starting before clamav: amavisd, bind, Apache2 Starting after clamav: Freshclam, Fail2Ban, memcached, MySQL, dovecot, ntp I'm guessing you have SpamAssassin and other services trying to run on this machine, 512MB is *FAR TOO LITTLE* in these days, especially if it is a 64-bit install. If this were 10 years ago, 512MB would do everything you have going and probably more. To try and prove my point, how about this, adjust when ClamAV starts to before Apache, Bind and Amavisd. I'll bet it works, but then other things will die on not being able to allocate memory. It comes down to one thing, you just do not have enough memory in the machine to do the job you want it to do. -- greg folkert - systems administration and support web: donor.com email: g...@donor.com phone: 877-751-3300 x416 direct: 616-328-6449 (direct dial and fax) "Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better." -- Albert Camus _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
