Hello list again.
I solve tho problem.
Stupidly I add freshclam line in root's crontab and it was also running for clamav user cron at the same time!

Sorry for bothering the list.

If you are using LogSyslog, why do you specify an UpdateLogFile? I would only use Syslog; the internal logger is not a good idea. It locks the log file, so if a "freshclam" process becomes stuck, subsequent freshclams complain. (I have no idea *why* it's necessary to lock the file; if the file is opened in "append" mode and log messages are shorter than PIPE_BUF, no locking should be needed.)

David.
