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
Thanks but where do I put the password as it doesntgive a window for it.
