Since Tue Jul 16 11:07:00 CEST 2019 I have experienced long
DNS timeouts with freshclam :

Here a log after first emptying /var/lib/clamav and next running
freshclam (while clamd is not running yet) downloading all files again

WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/lib/run/clamav/clamd.sock: No such file or directory
--------------------------------------

Several DNS timeout cause long delays with running freshclam
and also starting clamd can take upto two minutes.
