Have you checked out clamdtop to see what’s being done?

 

I usually see 1 core maxed on clamd.  It’s a 2012 MacPro, so not a worry for me.

Might want to change from fswatch to just a nightly scan if it’s too hard on 
the system.

Subject: [clamav-users] Constant CPU Usage

 

Clamd process seems to be using a lot of CPU. It goes 0% for a few seconds then 
100% (full use of one thread) for a few seconds constantly forever. This seems 
to be eating our users laptop battery noticeably

 

We just rolled out ClamAV to all of our users (running macOS of varying 
versions) using MacPorts and these instructions ( 
https://github.com/essandess/macOS-clamAV ) to all users who are technical 
enough to check CPU usage are reporting this.

 

Is this normal? Any way to change/fix it?
