16.04 - ClamAV : freshclam hangs and uses 100% CPU - Ask Ubuntu


i try update clamav database running freshclam. daily-*.cdiff downloaded successfully, process hangs. cpu maxed out @ 100%, update not finish. canceled process ctrl+c after appr. 10 minutes. here output update attempt:

# freshclam clamav update process started @ tue nov  8 00:15:57 2016 main.cvd date (version: 57, sigs: 4218790, f-level: 60, builder: amishhammer) downloading daily-22474.cdiff [100%] 

did else observe behavior? bug or system not configured?

ps: using clamav v0.99.2 on ubuntu mate 16.04.

there large cdiff published older users recently. try deleting daily , daily cdiffs* , re-running freshclam. let me know if works.
