It looks like it is set to manual updates.
If you try the manual update now, and check the log location specified for updates ?
Fsearch Jerry is testing for possible future LL version, is very quick.

ok where do i check the location specified for updates?

Re: antivirus definition always up to date? - bitsnpcs - 02-24-2017

From the above link -

"If you check the log

Code:
tail -10 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log

you will probably see updates for the freshclam as early as today."

Or you can click "Home folder", then choose "File System", then browse to the folder and log file path.
Eg; File System>var folder>log folder> find log file named freshclam.log, x2 left click mouse to open it, and then you can read the info inside, that you are looking for, of updates, and when checking after manual updates.

It shows it checked for updates for -
main.cvd
daily.cld
bytecode.cvd

At 14:48, and again 33 minutes later at 15.21, that there were no new updates available or installed for these 3 components during those 33 minutes, as the version, sigs and build numbers are the same when compared.

You can check the log again after a period of time, and a manual update, to confirm if there were any new updates available, or added.
