Clamscan consuming all resources

I am having trouble with clamscan and clamd consuming all resources, see attachment. It keeps happening all the time. The result is that the web server takes forever to respond, and the sites go down.

Edit: unable to upload picture. Could not upload attachment to ./files/1600_a8ba154b96cf654953b010b295b454c8.

We dont use clamscan. Based on your screenshot you've got amavis installed and its using clamscan to scan incoming emails.

Well, it wasn't clamscan, it was only clamd. I have removed every virus scanning with clamscan and still see this hangs a few times a day. The only possibility to fix it is to restart clamd. Then the server responds immediately. See screenshot.
