looking at the pastes i can see that clamd eats a lot of ram (along
with evolution and firefox) ... clamd is really something you should
run on your mailsever directly instead of your desktop imho ...

and there is not really a reason to use it with linux mail clients at
all if you dont blindly open and execute attachments in spam mails.

most viruses are windows ones, while it might be good habit to protect
your friends from accidentially spreading their windows viruses, the
1.2GB RAM that seems to costs you are probably not really worth it ;)
