Issue Dr.Web problem and server hung

Hello
I see that my mail log grows a lot in last two days. and I see lot of drweb related data (drwe to postmaster and so)
When I see process list I see a lot of process of sendmail from drweb and postmaster.
The overall CPU usage grows up to 99% and then the server fails: server hung.
When server is restarted, after one or two hours the problem appears again.
So my server is offline most of time.
Any idea?
 
The lines I see in ps are like these one, and there is a lot of them

In mail log appears a lot of line about sendmail mail from drweb to postmaster and the mail queue became full with these messages.
I'm desperate ... and my hosting technical support .... doesn't find any fix
 
It seems the problem is fixed after I uninstalled DrWeb (Prallels Premium Antivirus).
Now I'm looking around and I've found in /var/drweb/spool a lot of files with the content I write below :
I see two things that I cannot understand
1. it says that
A message with the following attributes was not delivered ...
But the message is from [email protected] to [email protected]
Why must be cheched if it goes from drweb to postmaster?
2. The filter fails to pass object to the DrWEB daemon

As result I've see a lot of activity from drweb, a high CPU load and a server hung
I've uninstalled DrWeb and the server is ok, cpu is ok ...
