Package: dansguardian
Version: 2.8.0.6-antivirus-6.4.4-1
Severity: important

All of a sudden, my "main" partition was full up. Since the complaining
program was trying to write /tmp, I listed /tmp contents and found several
hundred megabytes of stuff in /tmp/dgvirus. I removed two of the largest
entries to unparalyze my system.

This to me in an inappropriate usage of diskspace and since it is being
eaten very silently and disables the system without any warning, this is
in itself a virus-like behavior.

Needed (maybe in place?) means of disabling or limiting this activity.
AFAIK, Clamav uses about 7 meg for signatures. Danguardian would best mesh
with this somewhere along the line if installed.
