I'm running avg anti virus on linux and I'm using only the terminal. So sudo avgscan / -a -H -c scans the whole disk, is there a way to scan just a specified folder (also scans for the folders within said folder)?
To launch The AVG Anti-Virus on Ubuntu, run this command from the terminal:
sudo avgctl --start
Here are some useful scanning commands:
To scan a specific folder, use this command by replacing "folder_name" with the folder you want to scan with AVG:
sudo avgscan -H /folder_name
To download an update:
sudo avgupdate -d
To update the current virus database, use one of these commands:
sudo avgupdate --priority 1
sudo avgupdate --priority 2
sudo avgupdate --priority 3
sudo avgupdate --priority 4
sudo avgupdate --priority 5
1 - Critical update
2 - Virus update
3 - Recommended update
4 - Program update (default)
5 - Optional update
To download an update:
sudo avgupdate -d
For more help about using AVG, run this command:
sudo avgscan -h
Note: To stop the scan process, press Ctrl + C in the terminal.
