I've taken a trip to the swap shop. Added 2G and we seem to be working at this point. Thank you for your input. I clearly hadn't dug deep enough and as I said before, I'm definitely closer to newb than novice!! Thanks again!!

To the memory shop. You don't have enough to run clamd with the
official databases, which alone will take something like 1GByte.
