HOWTO: Install AVG free anti-virus

[Perfect Storm]

AI - I copied the file to a floppy and scanned it on my XP machine with Trend OfficeScan, and it didn't report any error.

So, is it just a foul up in AVG's definition files?

Must be, I can't see any other reason it should do so.

Hang in there Healey. I'm still new to Linux and learning as well, so I'm in the same boat as you are. It appears that it's just misreporting that file as being infected, so I'm not really gonna worry about it.

Hi
OMRebel - Thanks for your comment

I am enjoying learning so I wont give up yet !!

I think you must be correct - I wonder if anyone else has noticed this ??

That was good thinking to check that file the way you described - well done, wish I had thought of that !!!

OK I wont worry about it either

Thanks again

Healey

Does selecting 'Update' in the gui update f-prot or only the gui. If not how to update f-prot?

[Perfect Storm]

It's updating both the gui and the difinition and engine of AVG.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I don't see any options to either clean the infected files, or removing the virus / infected file. How do I do that? I'd like to run AVG unattended, but can't get it to clean the files

Any suggestions?
