As you may know, Lubuntu is an Ubuntu project, which is to say that some things affecting Lubuntu actually affect the entire project. In these cases, it's best to reach out to the wider community. This is one such case. Ubuntu is, more or less, Debian unstable (except it's stable). Things in the Debian repos [autosync][1] to the Ubuntu repos. By that logic, we should have the [latest clamav][2] considering we are [before the freeze][3]. If you read about [sync requests][4], you'll find they are applicable only to packages where the Ubuntu patches are no longer relevant but this package may need them as the Ubuntu version has five (that's the meaning of the "ubuntu5" at the end of the version string), so you need to look into a [merge][5]. Interestingly, clamav is not on the merge list, so I'm not sure what's going on there. You may wish to check with the [Ubuntu Developers Team][6] to figure out what the situation is.

Is there any continuous plan for making antivirus up to date? I know, this is only warning. But why to not have periodically updated antivirus on the same way like web browser firefox which is allways up to date on all *buntu derrivates?
