Bug Description
The post install routine of clamav-freshclam generates /etc/clamav/
But that option is deprecated, and since 0.103.2+
"WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option SafeBrowsing at /etc/clamav/
The PostInst should generate a default freshclam.conf without "SafeBrowsing". And, on update, the "SafeBrowsing" should be removed from an untouched pre-existing default freshclam.conf.

Thanks for taking the time to report a bug and help making Ubuntu better.
I can obviously confirm this problem, but it's a low priority one (upstream seems to have decided that the SafeBrowsing option simply doesn't do anything anymore, so it's not "dangerous" to leave it in the configuration file). For this reason, I think it's better to address this on Debian's clamav package.
I went ahead and filed the following MR against Debian clamav:

Eventually this will be accepted (I hope), and then Ubuntu's clamav will incorporate the fix once it's merged. Feel free to subscribe to the MR above if you'd like to follow its progress.
Thanks.
