The latest User Manuals of AVG for Linux are always available on web page Downloads-Documentation. Including all information about given edition of AVG for Linux.

The file is also stored in /opt/grisoft/avg7/doc/ folder after the installation of any AVG for Linux edition.

AVG Anti-Virus for Linux depends on the following system library or newer:

• libc.so.6

AVG Anti-Virus for FreeBSD depends on the following system library or newer:

• libc.so.5 

For RELEASE-6 and CURRENT development branches it is needed the compat5x package, which is located in /usr/ports/misc.

If your server is busy (e.g. sending 100 of emails a minute), then the best solution for avgupdate is with the command:
avgupdate -o -p 3 -n –a from crone (online update with priority 3 without progress information and restart of daemons). It guarantees that AVG Anti-VirusDaemons will run without interruption with the latest virus definitions and your AVG system will always be up to date. The new daemons can be run then by the init script.
The next option is to update virus definitions only, which can be done when you set update level 2 (priority update), e.g. avgupdate -o -p 2 –n
The program update can be done by avgupdate -o -p 3.

All components of AVG for Linux (avgscan, avgupdate) are controlled by the settings of locales.
If you have different language settings, everything will be printed in that language. If you want e.g. the output in English only, it is necessary to change the locales or change the setting before the command avgscan. For example:
LANG=C avgscan will print everything in English.
