Hallo!
Today I upgraded Avast! on my Ubuntu 8.10, from1.0.8-2_i386 to 1.2.0-2_i386 (is there something newer?).
But after the first canning I received the information that ALL files are infected

What should I think about it?

Hallo, are you trying fresh install (with no legacy libavastengine in /usr/lib)? Those numbers don't mean "all files infected", it's just uninitialised stat-counter, ... i'll have look at it.

I don't exactly understand what means fresh installing $:-\$ . I installed Avast with GDebi.
What can I do for eliminate this problem?

Hmm,
this bug was fixed already, the version 1.3.0 should be OK:

http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation-1.3.0-1.i586.rpm
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation-1.3.0.tar.gz
http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb

please, confirm.

regards,

Good evening.
Thanks for your efforts.
I installed the 1.3 version and results I received are following:
1. For the scan of the entire system
2. For the scan of the home folder
3. For the scan of the home folder in the terminal

So, I know that the system is clean, but some divergences remind, for example: the size of files scanned in the first case (entire system) is smaller than in the second one (home folder). The point is maybe that I scanned first the entire system, later the home folder and later I repeated the scan of entire system.
However:

Good evening!
In meantime I learnt how to use Avast! in terminal.
So, I don't need GUI.

I find some problems with using the commands, but I hope I'll learn it, too.

Best regards.

hallo,
strange, the results aren't cummulative - they're always related to the latest scan. the scan time for "entire system" is also quite low... will try to reproduce it... (but i doubt it would occur).

Hallo!
I think, everything is now all right.
The time of scanning, the number of scanned files.
I noticed

it today.
Thanks for all.
