Avast AV installed but no user access

[Scroooge]

I installed avast AV (AvastWorkstation 1.0.8-2) but cannot access the program through the applications menu. I do not even know it is running, because I dont see it in System Monitor. What can I do to change that?

Uninstall it. You don't need it.

I do not know if a AV is needed or not with Linux.But i used Avast for near 2 years under Windows and it did no detect anything at all

Hi,

You need the debian version of Avast and I do not recognise the number you quote so I suggest you check it. When installed in Xubuntu you will find it under Accessories so try there.

I use wine and regard Avast as extremely useful to check my Home directory.

My regards
