hi,

i'm trying to install avira av on a compaq presario sr1103wm with lucid lynx. i've tried using the archive manager, but i end up with a package on the desktop that i don't know what to do with. i've also followed techie mo's tutorial to the best of my ability. i just seem to have come up short. below is the output of the terminal. it shows SOME promise, just not an end result.

hi ed.

to me it looks like you're not familiar with working in a shell and thus you probably are not familiar with installing software by building it.

as a start i would generally advice you to do things as root only if you know what you are doing. you may end up with the need of a clean reinstall of your operating system without having a proper backup of your important data.

if you just need an antivirus software, why not use clamav? it comes shipped in the repositories and easier to install. easy as that:

sudo apt-get install clamav

[ejames82]

Kloschüssel,

i appreciate the words of caution. i have several computers and this one is strictly a 'learning' computer. nothing important is stored or put on it.

"it looks like you're not familiar with working in a shell and thus you probably are not familiar with installing software by building it."
i AM familiar with it, but i am just not good at it. that's why i'm following the tutorial.

i have clam av, avast and fprot. i love them all. i want MORE.
i have always liked avira av quite a bit.
thanks.

2) installing internet update daemon
An internet update daemon is available with version 2.1.12-19 of
Avira AntiVir Workstation (UNIX). This is a program that will run in the background
and automatically check for updates (internet access is required).
Instead of installing the internet update daemon, you may also
manually check for updates using:

antivir --update

Please read the README file for more information about updating and
which method best suits you.

3) installing AvGuard
Version 2.1.12-19 of Avira AntiVir Workstation (UNIX) is capable of on-access,
real-time scanning of files. This provides the ultimate protection
against viruses and other unwanted software. The on-access scanner
(called AvGuard) is based on Dazuko, a free software project providing
access control. In order to use AvGuard you will need to compile Dazuko
for your kernel. Please refer to contrib/dazuko/HOWTO-Dazuko for
information about how to do this. There are several ways in which you
can install AvGuard.

module - Dazuko will be loaded by the avguard script

kernel - Dazuko is always loaded
(and should not be loaded by the avguard script)

no install - do not install AvGuard at this time

Note: Dazuko currently only works with GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris
systems. If you are interested in helping us port Dazuko to
OpenBSD, feel free to check out the Dazuko Project at:
Main Page - Dazuko

available options: m k n

How should AvGuard be installed? [n] n
AvGuard will NOT be installed. See contrib/dazuko/HOWTO-Dazuko
for more information about Dazuko.

4) configuring AntiVir Updater

Your connection to the internet might require special configuration
settings (such as HTTP proxy settings). You may also want the
updater to log to specific files or send email notification. You
now have the opportunity to set these options.

Would you like to configure the AntiVir updater now? [y] y

EmailTo (1 of 4)
=======
You may configure the AntiVir Updater to send out an email message
whenever an update was successful or an error with the update occurred.

available options: y n

Would you like email notification about updates? [n] y
What email address will receive notifications? []


LogTo (2 of 4)
=====
In addition to logging update activity through syslog, you may also
specify your own log file for messages that are generated by the.
AntiVir Updater. This can make it simpler to review past activity
without having to sift through syslog files.

available options: y n

Would you like the updater to log to a custom file? [y] n


AutoUpdateEvery2Hours/AutoUpdateDaily (3 of 4)
=====================================
AntiVir is equipped with an Internet Update Daemon. At specified
intervals, AntiVir will connect to an update server to check for newer
versions of the AntiVir engine or the data files. If a newer
version is available, AntiVir will automatically download and install
the updates without requiring any special attention. This allows AntiVir
to be kept current against attacks and problems.

AntiVir can be configured to check for updates every 2 hours (2) or
once a day (d). You can also choose to disable the Internet Update
Daemon (n).

Note: Updates can also be done manually from the command line:
antivir --update
You may prefer to disable the Internet Update Daemon and
instead perform regular updates using a cron( job.

Using the startup script for the Internet Update Daemon when
it is disabled will result in an error.

available options: 2 d n

How often should AntiVir check for updates? [2] d

AutoUpdateTime (3-2 of 4)
==============
The AntiVir Updater can be set to always check for updates at a
particular time of day. This is specified in a HH:MM format
(where HH is the hour and MM is the minutes). If you do not have a
permanent connection, you may set it to a time when you are usually
online. You may also let AntiVir choose a random time (r).

If you have a permanent connection then a random time may be preferred
because it will help to disperse the times when other users are
getting updates.

available options: HH:MM r

What time should updates be done? [RANDOM] r


HTTPProxyServer/HTTPProxyPort (4 of 4)
=============================
If this machine is sitting behind an HTTP proxy server, you will need to
configure AntiVir with the appropriate proxy settings. Internet access
is required in order to make updates.

available options: y n

Does this machine use an HTTP proxy server? [n] n


AntiVir Configuration
=====================
Here are the configuration settings you have specified. Look them over
to make sure they are correct.

email notification:
specific logfile: no
update frequency: daily (if update daemon is running)
update time: random (if update daemon is running)
http proxy server: none

available options: y n

Save configuration settings? [y] y

* SUCCESS *

Configuration successfully saved to.
/etc/avupdater.conf

Press <ENTER> to continue.


Running Internet Update Daemon
==============================
In order for the Internet Update Daemon to be active on your
system, you must run the software. This can be done manually each
time the system is booted with the command:

/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater start

You can have it start automatically by adding avupdater to your
startup scripts. Depending on your system, this can vary. Consult
your system documentation on startup scripts.

During the installation, you had the option to set the updater to
start automatically.

available options: y n

Would you like to apply the new configuration? [y] y

Starting AntiVir: avupdater.


AntiVir Status: avupdater running.

Here are some commands that you should remember...

configure updater: /usr/lib/AntiVir/configantivir
start update daemon: /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater start
stop update daemon: /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater stop
update daemon status: /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater status

Press <ENTER> to continue.


Installation of the following features complete:
AntiVir command line scanner
AntiVir Internet Update Daemon
AntiVir Guard (previously installed)


Note: It is highly recommended that you perform an update now to
ensure up-to-date protection. This can be done by running:

antivir --update

Be sure to read the README file for additional information.
