These messages mean that freshclam tried DNS then http (port 80) to update the
database but it didn't work; your freshclam.conf is missing the proper proxy
settings, it probably has the default that looks like this:

# Proxy settings
# Default: disabled
#HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
#HTTPProxyPort 1234

You need something like this:

HTTPProxyServer localhost
HTTPProxyPort 8080

I'm guessing your proxy is running in the same machine, if that is not correct
then change localhost to the IP address of the proxy gateway.
