Public bug reported: It happens daily, 2 or 3 times. But I don't know what triggers it, and I can't reproduce it. Last time it happened I wasn't even in front of the computer, and only firefox, thunderbird and skypeforlinux were opened (if I'm not mistaken). clamd was running as well. But each time it happened, the following has been logged in syslog:
