clamav and freshclam not working

[jop]

im having exactly the same problem, how do i remove clamav to start again?

Remove what you have done first.
Then use the ClamAV guide in our Help Manual please.

I recently switched to Linux Lite because of Windows 7 expiring. This week after I installed clamav, scans wouldn't work.
First I ran from terminal:
sudo apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon
(clamtk was on the end of that line I copied, but it was said not to work well with Linux Lite)

I had used clamav before on a machine with Ubuntu 12.04, where i'd enter "clamscan -r /" Trying it on this PC, I'd get:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav
ERROR: Can't open file or directory
    With 0 files scanned

I uninstalled everything I saw and reinstalled clamav, but not clamav-daemon. Then I ran freshclam manually, ending up with this:

Please suggest what else I should show in order to get an answer to my problem.
