I've got mine clamav running again. Apparently the most recent version is VERY 
memory hungry and in a VM with only 256 MiB of RAM it will crash and burn if 
you have a lot of filters loaded in.

To get it running again I've added 256 MiB in a swap file, I know it's crude 
but it's okay now. I don't want to pay for more RAM though I'm considering an 
outsourced mail filtering option from my host (Bytemark).

I guess that, if you're in Microsoft's shoes, it makes sense. If you
can't write software or protocols that can stably walk and chew gum,
program in a limit that prevents the user from telling it to do so.
