I have Ubuntu studio AMD-64 ver. 10.10 just installed last night. I am running a Compaq SR1650nx "Presario" with an AMD 64.

I need to install Avast now and I am a little stumped. I am very NEW to Linux. So this has been a learning experience.

Can anyone help and show me the best way to get avast working?


Now if I could only get my sound card working.....

As far as my knowledge goes, Avast doesn't have a linux version.
