Please remove everything except these three files.  The others are
dupicates that may be unnecessarily bloating the memory usage.

Hi Stephen,

After a few days of running, the current memory usage is:

$ ps Hu -C clamd
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
clamav   18045  0.0  9.1 222656 187600 ?       Ssl  Jun06   1:08 /usr/sbin/clamd
clamav   18045  0.1  9.1 222656 187600 ?       Ssl  11:40   0:00 /usr/sbin/clamd

This is about 3x the starting memory. Whilst it's better than it was, it's 
still a big chunk of memory.
