[SOLVED] My clamav / clamd stopped working and it says that clamd.service has timed out.

Yup… It happened to me. I have no idea why but what I had to do is edit this file as root:

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/clamd.service

and replace the line:

Type=forking

with

Type=idle

and then run

systemctl disable clamd && systemctl enable clamd && systemctl restart clamd

and everything was peachy.

Cheers.
