Server operating system + version
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
CPU: AMD Opteron) Processor 6234
RAM: 24GB

KeyHelp version + build number
v25.1

Problem description / error messages
Since I've re-enabled Clamscan (I've figured it out that was disabled since a Keyhelp upgraded, I am not sure the reason; my server has enought RAM and CPU power), clamscan task from keyhelp is using 100% CPU and seems it does take forever (I am seing right now a task runing since almost 9hours by now).

Expected result
Should be running faster/using less CPU resources?

Actual result
Seems takes too long and uses 100% CPU resources.

Steps to reproduce
Just figured it out in the process list.

Hallo,

how long this task is running depends on the amount of data it has to scan. Especially when there a many small files (e.g. session files that are never deleted) it can take a very long time.
