I'm not big on making suggestions, especially in a situation where the development team appears to have everything under control. But perhaps it might be a good idea to include a little behind the scenes tutorial about what happens when a update notification occurs and what specific messages that may be found in the log files mean.

Granted the above is rather simple to figure out, and out of 100 users perhaps 2 will actually read the darn thing but if it lowers the number of these type of questions sent to the support teams email, or various support lists wouldn't it be worth it?

easier:

change the text from:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!
WARNING: Local version: 0.81 Recommended version: 0.82

to

WARNING: A new version of the ClamAV program is available! Your version: 0.82
WARNING: New version available for download: 0.83 See http://www.clamav.net for details.


or something like that. greater clarity in the warning message will go a long way to clearing this up. 'update' is easily misunderstood to mean virus definition updates.
