Q: I've installed avast! Linux Home Edition, but there's no icon at
   Gnome/KDE. What should I do to see the icon?
A: If you'd like to integrate avast! into your desktop menu, run this
   command:
     sudo /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop/install-desktop-entries.sh install
   and to uninstall the icon, please run:
     sudo /usr/lib/avast4workstation/share/avast/desktop/install-desktop-entries.sh uninstall

Q: How can I set avast! to automatically download the latest VPS
   file.
A: Alter the crontab table as a normal user:
     crontab -e

   and insert a line like this:
     0 */6 * * * /usr/bin/avast-update

   then restart the cron daemon

Q: How do I set avast! to automatically scan /home directory as root?
A: First run avast! as root (you'll be probably asked to insert
   the license key):
     sudo -H avast /home

   Then alter the crontab table:
     sudo crontab -e

   and insert lines like these (the first line will update the VPS
   file before scanning the directory):
     30 22  * * * /usr/bin/avast-update
     45 22  * * * /usr/bin/avast /home > /tmp/scanresaults.txt

   then restart the cron daemon

Q: I couldn't open a web browser from avast!
A: Please, first look at your desktop settings, how's your web browser
   started there, and then set an alternative command to start the
   browser at "Tools->Preferences->Web browser->Run command".
   (here's an example: lbrowser %s)
