Why? Linux isn't Windows. It is not a magnet for viruses like MS products.

Whilst this is a valid point, I use AVG to check that files that I'm forwarding on to MS using friends and colleagues do not contain virii that may affect them.

and thats the reason i d/l it , but I find it says now I found where it is that it says I have no permission to use it to update so where do I get the permissions as there is no where I can see to input a password

Updating is allowed under root by the following command: avgupdate -o
I am using avg and can test from gui or console mode.

A couple of useful Console commands:
avgupdate --help
avgscan --help

avgscan home
avgscan media
.
