[clamav-users] ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! as reported by freshclam utility on CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

As memory serves, there used to be a code number that represented the necessity to upgrade. Many years ago they used to wait several days/weeks before turning that up on routine updates, which then caused the warnings to show up.
