Undesired vector of attack

I was warned a few minutes ago by my favorite monitoring software that something was amiss: a vital system's disk was running full.

Sixty odd days of antivirus signature files are just a bit too much volume for the disk:

# cd /usr/local/uvscan/datfiles
# df -h .
/dev/sda3             7.9G  6.7G  814M  90% /
# rm -rf 56[0-5]? 566[0-4]
# df -h .
/dev/sda3             7.9G  2.4G  5.2G  31% /

Yes, I know: I should have set up an antivirus-signature-killer in the first place. :-)
