In which language?

Could you please point out where in this log extract it mentions
anything about the software getting remotely turned off ?

You are right, the FAQ should link to the EOL message.
Could you please point out where on that page it mentions anything about
the problem ?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (red)
On 15 April 2010 all ClamAV installations older than 0.95 will be
disabled. See http://www.clamav.net/eol-clamav-094/ for more details.
There were also several announcements on the clamav-announce mailing list.
As it happens, I HAVE been to that page several times in the last few
months, because I've been setting up new mail servers and was looking
for info on downloading the updates just once and passing them round to
the others - see, even though it's a small setup, I still try and
minimise my load on the upstream project servers.
That is why people are so upset about this - in practical terms, to most
users, it was **NOT** announced 6 months ago - it was sprung on them
with no warning this morning.
Best regards,
--Edwin
