Not quite sure what you mean by ‘I have the avast gui in the desktop menu on ubuntu.’

There are a couple of commands you need to run in a terminal to have avast! appear in the Applications/Accessories menu:

I did that and that is why ‘I have the avast gui in the desktop menu on ubuntu.’

If I’m not wrong it does not ask for root access while loading…
I’m not on Linux right now, but I think it runs at user level.
