Antivirus issue

[ale52]

I've installed AVG antivirus for Linux on my machine. I know, you probably don't need it but I'm a long-time Windoze user and have got it ingrained my my brain. Anyway, it installed and runs a scan fine. My problem is that in the GUI interface AVG won't let me run an update. I checked the properties on the folder and it is owned by root.

Do i need to run an update as sudo from terminal to get it to update? What might the syntax be?

Thanks

I think you do have to run it as root, in this HOWTO is some info on how to create a menu entry so that it starts up as root automatically http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=136064&highlight=avg

Thanks TLE.

I'll go to that link and print it out.
