avast! - help: about avast! program

Welcome to avast! for Linux workstation

Dear customer, we congratulate you on installing the avast! antivirus package, one of the best programs in its category. We hope that you will be satisfied with our product and that you will enjoy the comfort of working with this program.

This version is designed for Linux operating systems (RedHat, SUSE etc.). It contains only the local scanner - so, it can be used to scan files and directories on Linux and Windows partitions. It does not contain any resident protection, however, so it cannot be used e.g. to protect the e-mail.

For home users who do not use their computer for any profitable activities, this version of avast! is offered for free.
