Hi All,

This post explains as to how to update avg antivirus for linux. By update - I mean update the antivirus virus definitions.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the updates from this link - http://www.avg.com/download-update.
2. Download the non-windows updates from the above site.
3. Open gnome-terminal and type su - and then your root password.
4. Save it to say - Desktop.
5. Finally run this command in your terminal - "avgupdate -f /home/ananth/Desktop"

Note:
1. Where -f is for offline, the next option is the path of the downloaded files [bin files]
2. Replace /home/ananth - with /home/your_account_name

Thats it. Enjoy maadi.....

Take care and GN,
