No, level 44 is correct for 0.95.3. However the latest version is 0.96.1, and its level is 53. Hence the warning from freshclam.

IIRC Fedora had quite a detailed README on how to setup the init scripts (I think it involved creating some config files, and some symlinks). Why they don't ship a package which just installs a working init script, I don't know. You should ask them.
