If the avast service is running, than the old definitions are deleted on update. However, when the service is
stopped and the VPS updates are still active (i.e. the cron job is still running), then the old definitions remain
in /var/lib/avast/defs (but can be removed manually as you did). It’s a bug, that will be fixed in the next version.
Possible bug:
When the scan command contains a “-e” exclude option for a file or directory that does not exist, the scan stops. I suggest it should ignore and carry on.
Is there a new valid license after 2014/01/01 ? Where can I found prices for different versions ?
According to sales/marketing, the products shall be available to buy on monday. Additionally, we
have updated the “trial” license here, so it is valid until end of April.
Hi Tumic,
Is a .tgz package planned ?

Hi.
Can I use this antivirus on my home computer with Fedora?
I used to use the avast! Linux Home Edition.
Is it free? 
The RHEL/CentOS “avast” rpm package also works on Fedora.
No.
Hi,
referring to http://www.avast.com/eula
is this Avast! for Linux a “consumer” or “corporate” product? Or does it have some other EULA? Thanks.
The License is part of every package, so the most accurate answer is - download the package
and read the license. It should be the consumer/corporate license (they are IMHO the same,
except the subtitle…)
You are right, I found the EULA in /usr/share/doc/avast/LICENSE thanks.
And… yes, they all look (mostly) the same. ;D
