BleepingComputer.com: Vnc Antivirus On Ubuntu Fiesty

I did the install from http://www.howtoforge.com/avg_antivirus_ubuntu_feisty. I went great. But when I click to Update it tells me I don't have permission to exectue avgupdate..

to scan the whole file system as superuser:

open a terminal

sudo avgscan /

as root:

gksu avgscan /

to update as superuser (this will be enough):
open terminal

sudo avgupdate -o

Thanks Joe

That's very cool stuff. I wonder if the command line scans and update run faster without the GUI overhead.

Much faster. Without having to dedicate resources tot he front end, it is left to dedicate a majority of the system to just do it's job. In Linux, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes anyways, with or without the front end.
