Hi sara, thanks for reporting this bug.

This was supposed to have been fixed in the package you are running, clamav-base 0.96+dfsg-1ubuntu2. Can you provide the output of "ls -al /var/log/clamav/" please, so we can see the state of the log files, and which ones are larger (or not rotated).

Thanks.

generally sys.log messages and kern.log that are over 1gb every time i boot... i ran ubuntu-bug /var/log/ to report this thinking it would report that

Sara, this has uncovered a related bug where the clamav logs are not being rotated - which will be fixed shortly. Can you confirm what application is creating such large log files elsewhere?

Thanks.
