We had the same on two boxes that still use Kaspersky. The newer AV-Suite uses
Clam AV instead.
Apparently the virus definitions were corrupted upon or during download.
Re-downloading the virus definitions (from the GUI if a RaQ550, XTR or Qube3)
or from the command line solves the issue.
To re-download them from the command line do this (as root):
cd /etc/cron.daily
./kavupdater

With best regards,
