I installed the last version of Proxmox: 7.3-4 (running kernel: 5.15.83-1-pve). And then, after a week the server became unreachable and a hard reset was necessary (through Hetzner interface).
In order to understand the origin of the problem I looked at kernel logs belonging to the time before the incident. I noticed that there is a repetitive error in /var/log/messages:
which is related to the antivirus clamAV which I didn't install. also I can't find its files on the server.
when I do:
I get this:
The date of those processes is the date of the incident: Jan15
On the server there is ne trace of those files /usr/sbin/clamd and /usr/bin/freshclam.
I have no idea about those processes, I want to know the origin of this antivirus and why its processes are present even if it's not installed in the server? Also I want know what happened exactly the day of the incident (freshclam[491128] general protection fault)?
