Matt:
Thank you.
sudo avg
returned "command not found"

kdesu avg
returned "X error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
	Major opcode: 144
	Minor opcode: 3
	Resource id: 0x0
X error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
	Major opcode: 144
	Minor opcode: 3
	Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
sh:
avg: not found"

su avg
returned " Password:"
which I put in, then it returned
"su: Authentication failure
Sorry"

The password I used is my root user password which I understand one has 
to use to enable su

I may have a faulty installation, I don't know, but for now, it's ok.
I have so much configuration to do that this minor glitch can't be a 
priority.  The update was successfully installed,
so I have the protection I need for now.

The AVG GUI works fine for scanning, it is just the "update" button in 
the GUI that keeps denying me permission to update.

Thanks again,
Wayne
