This is a directory listing of your home directory. Try ls -l
/etc/fresh*, if it's still there you need to edit that file. The file
is owned by root, therefore you won't be able to edit it as yourself but
will need to edit it as root.
To edit the file as root you have a choice, either use sudo or if you
remember root's password you can do that as well, using sudo is probably
your best choice.
I'm a vi user, so I can't give you the specifics of how to use nano,
pico, of gedit for that matter, other than the specific editor commands
the process is the same
sudo <your editor> /etc/freshclam.conf
Comment out the by placing # in front of the word Example, should be
about 8 lines down, it should look like this
#Example
Save the file and exit the editor
An alternative is to use sed
sudo sed -i /etc/freshclam.conf -e's/^Example/#Example/'
You can then check to make sure that all went as expected with
head /etc/freshclam.conf.
Once that is done you should then be good to go.
I hope that that helps.
