[purvis]

How I installed avg anti virus on my computer.
I am not telling anybody how to install software just documenting what I have done.


a few webpages that i looked at

STEP 1

you can find the newest rpm file to download here
http://free.avg.com/us-en/download.prd-alf

At the time i wrote this,  the rpm package was
avg2013flx-r3115-a6155.i386.rpm

You need to check this before you use the wget command below then adjust to the new rpm.
I just copy the link using my webpage browser to pickup the http location

http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg2013flx-r3115-a6155.i386.rpm

STEP 2

Code: [Select]

cd /
cd /tmp
wget http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/inst/avg2013flx-r3115-a6155.i386.rpm


STEP 3

Code: [Select]

yum localinstall avg2013flx-r3115-a6155.i386.rpm


STEP 4
These ares some of avg services i do not think i need loaded.
These are the command that i used

Code: [Select]

avgcfgctl -w Default.setup.features.antispam=false
avgcfgctl -w Default.setup.features.oad=false
avgcfgctl -w Default.setup.features.scheduler=false
avgcfgctl -w Default.setup.features.tcpd=false


step 5
setup a symbolic link to start avg service before qmail
if you want to load up avgd before you a virus scan,
then do not do  step 5

Code: [Select]

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/avgd /etc/rc7.d/S78avgd


step 6
update your avg

Code: [Select]

avgupdate
avgupdate
avgupdate


STEP 7
I am scanning the these directories below because of what one of the above websites mentioned about some rootkit exploits

Code: [Select]

avgscan /lib
avgscan /lib64


STEP 8
Reboot when server is not being used.
This may not be necessary to reboot, but i think the update might of had done more updates after it did reboot.
On my system, i rebooted 4 times and then i ran "avgupdate" after each boot.

Code: [Select]

reboot


STEP 9
check for running services

Code: [Select]

ps aux | grep "avg"
this was a result from the above ps aux command

root      2404  0.0  6.5 242588 135568 ?       Sl   14:14   0:00 /opt/avg/av/bin//avgd
root      2417  0.0  0.1  77512  2564 ?        Sl   14:14   0:00 /opt/avg/av/bin/avgavid
root      3042  0.0  0.0   4244   648 pts/0    S+   14:53   0:00 grep avg

STEP 10
after reboot

Code: [Select]

avgupdate
avgupdate
avgupdate


STEP 11

Code: [Select]

avgscan /lib
avgscan /lib64
