Two problems with this: 1) You're downloading AVG, a Windows virus scanner. You don't need this, because Ubuntu isn't susceptible to Windows Viruses. 2) You're downloading a Windows program which won't work natively under Ubuntu. Ubuntu isn't Windows, and generally, Windows programs won't run on it. Scott -- Scott L. Balneaves | "Eternity is a very long time, Systems Department | especially towards the end."
