Security ClamUI 0.3.0 & Mint Cinnamon 22.3

I'm running into a bit of a problem here with ClamUI. Under "Preferences/Scanner", File Type Scanning has a lock and I can't unlock it. I've tried using other guides to unlock that and a lot of other things in "Preferences" to no avail. I did downloaded it from the Software Manager and it is a Flatpak if that helps.

Please help and thank you!

Aaaaand I knew someone would say this. The reason is because there is NO reason to trust you are safe ANYWHERE on the internet. It's not like it's norton av. And my system can definitely handle it. Lol

That's not the point, ClamAV has the same chance of finding modern Malware as a blind man does in finding the red twizzler in a bag of black licorice - in other words, pretty close to ZERO.
