Hello,

I use Avast Anti-Virus on both sides of my dual boot machine, and when I 
installed the Linux version it asked for a license key [it's the free 
version] and I just fed it the one I had from the Windows version I have 
installed, and it worked great.

I use it to scan my windows drives when I suspect they may be 
compromised, and I also use clamav for the same thing. Clamav shows in 
System Monitor as clamd, and freshclam which is responsible for updating 
the virus signatures, but Avast starts no processes, so they aren't 
fighting each other, and clamd and freshclam appear to sleep almost all 
of the time, so they aren't taking up much in the way of resources. They 
do load about 18 MiB to resident memory according to System Monitor 
between the two of them.

I'm not really sure what System Monitor means by MiB??? Is that 
Megabytes, or megabits?

Later, Ray Parrish
