Virus updates

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Uh oh! In an exchange off-list I was told to try the freshclam command to check
if I had current files. It came back almost instantly to tell me that I was up to
date. However, the only copies of those files I see are still in
/usr/src/clamav-0.60/database, they are dated 20 June, and are 1109995 and 4886
bytes in size.

That means that both updaters are lying to me.
