This is the first time clam has updated since I have been running Prox.

My question is about the modified config file of freshclam.conf. What is the correct choice?

install the package maintainer's version
keep the local version currently installed (default)

I just don't want to break clam within Prox

Hi @tom.sanchez

thank you for posting on the forum!

Sourcing from the upgrade guide of Proxmox Mail Gateway 8 to 9 [1]:
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf and /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
Those two configuration files are managed by Proxmox Mail Gateway directly, at will be re-generate on any relevant change and on boot.Using the default "No" (keep your currently-installed version) is safe here.
So you can safely use the option "Keep the local version currently installed"

Yours sincerely
Jonas
