So I've gone ahead and taken some recommendations of others here, but
here's what I get when I try to update my Clam virus definitions files...
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/freshclam.conf
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/freshclam.conf
Is there something I'm missing here?.....shouldn't the application /
program I just downloaded be the latest version? The GUI displays that
the definitions are "Out Of Date" but when I click on the "Check For
Updates" option it goes through the motions and tells me they're still
outdated. Is there some kind of fix for this?...

Sorry about that! Just one time, you have to edit freshclam.conf. And
it's a snap. Open a terminal, become root. (Not sure if that's
necessary, but if it is, you've done that.) Type cd /etc (return) *
Type nano freshclam.conf (return). Right at the top, it tells you to
comment out the line below. Insert a # sign in front of the word
Example. Type Control-X, then Y.
(If you don't have nano, you probably have pico, which works about the
same.)
* If your distro allows you to use sudo, then you can do cd /etc sudo
nano freshclam.conf and go on from there.
Still pretty simple.
