In order to help you, we need to know what you are using:

- What version of Dazuko(FS)?
- What version of ClamAV?

> Is there any way to avoid this sudden peek of clamd usage!!

If you are using DazukoFS you can use the "showfiles" utility
(included in the DazukoFS source package) to see what files are being
scanned when you do things like opening a man page. This might shed
some light as to why clamd is taking so long. (Scanning those same
files without DazukoFS should also take just as long.)
