Avast Antivirus Crashes
- by user67966
Well I have installed avast anti virus on Ubuntu 12.04. But after updating, it crashes! So I have made some tweaks like below:
1) I pressed press Ctrl+Alt+T and opened Terminal. When it opened, I ran the command below.
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rcS
2) typed my password and hit enter
3) when the text file opens add the line:
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000
4) made sure the line you added is before:
exec /etc/init.d/rc S
5) This is how it should look like:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# rcS
#
# Call all S??* scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ in numerical/alphabetical order
#
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000
exec /etc/init.d/rc S
6) save it
7) Reboot
My question is. Did I do anything wrong. I mean as I have made some tweaks,will it lower the security of avast down like viruses do! Please if you are a programmer check this if it contains bug or harmful intentions...Thanks.
