You really should be trying to help those sorry sacks in the Ubuntu forums.

Regarding AVAST, does it update signature files automatically, or must
this be done manually?

Thanks

The default is automatic. You might also want to open the program and
set the protections to high.

There's a setting for you to choose between auto/ask/manual updates.

That seems right for the Linux version but the Windows version has the
60 day trial I think.

No, the paid version has a 60-day trial. The free version has free
yearly registration, without ads.

Last time I installed it -- a couple of weeks ago -- you couldn't open
the console without inputting a registration code. Perhaps you can use
it at medium level for 90 days but if you want full protection, you
gotta register.

I don't need no stinking anti virus for Linux.

Ah, that makes much more sense.

Up to 60 days for first registration , then yearly .

You are given a 60-day grace period before the *original* activation.

Yeah, but I would call that the activation, not a "re-activation".

Definitely not a "re-activation".
