Press alt+F2,
type avggui
Hit enter.

The menu entry should be in applications>accessories>AVG Antivirus,
It may be refreshed after a relog.

sry the new command is avgctl
avgctlcfg for configuration avgupdate for update and avgscan etc.

Thanx all,

"AVG for Linux User Guide" link is dead.

Sorry but how do I do these? "sry the new command is avgctl
avgctlcfg for configuration avgupdate for update and avgscan etc. "

"Press alt+F2, type avggui , Hit enter" gives this:-

However AVG fails to start in many cases, open terminal emulator
and type command avgctl see if you can get AVG Control Center

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but are you running a file or email server? If not, there's really no need to run antivirus at all on Linux. You'd only be running it as a courtesy to Windows users. You're basically trading your CPU cycles for their lack of security.

LOL

Its true. AVG free or any free anti virus does not work properly even on Windows, gives too much false alarms.

I just keep clamav+clamtk to scan when I want. but not clam-deamon or clamfs.

you could also type on the command prompt

whereis avggui

and find out what is the correct path. or you could just bootup as a super user, but that error shows that the file avggui doesn't exist.
