Avast for Kubuntu 14.04 linux
« on: December 28, 2018, 09:40:56 AM »
I found a download .deb file for avast4workstation
(avast! antivirus for Linux), thru google for .deb file download
for Linux (Kubuntu 14.04).
and loaded it on my Kubuntu 14.04, it now shows the avast
icon within my K menu, but when I click on it it comes back saying
"avast error-an error occurred in avast! engine:invalid argument"
see attached what do you thing is wrong and why it wont execute?

Ray

He means that this forum is for the Avast for Windows product range.

The link he gave is for issues relating to Avast for Linux/Unix, e.g. post there.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security
