Hi, I have used avast for many years and I love this anti-virus. Good job on a great product. I have used both versions, one for windows, and one for Linux. I am running Ubuntu 10(Linux) at the moment and there are two issues that I have:
1: the default Linux kernel is too small for avast, and when you type the registration code in then update avast has issues. When you restart avast it goes back to the register prompt again and it wont register it( fixed this with a script to make the Linux kernel bigger at start up of the OS, works like a charm now).
2:There is no real-time scanner for Linux. I understand that in Linux, many consider an anti-virus an unnecessary formality, so it really doesn't need one and that there are complications with "root". I beg to differ, and maybe a real-time scanner might be a bit much or really complicated, but a browser plug-in to scan downloads or possibly act as a real-time scanner would be excellent since Linux is still able to download a virus. Plus if this plug-in is in the list of plug-ins for a browser (example Firefox or chrome) in Linux, that is free advertising because there is none.
Sorry to post this here but I didn't know if the other thread was still being read, I hope this isn't annoying.
