Where is avast antivirus installed on Suse?
I mistakenly installed avast under a limited user, and there are many sections of computer it cannot access. The plan is to change ownership of the program to root so it can scan all folders.

How do you install it using Yast ?
If so than it is system wide
They only thing is than that every user including root must enter validation key of course only the first time
Or did you just download in you home dir ?
In that case which one did you download the tar.gz the RPM ?
And how did you install it ?

I was able to run avast as root so problem solved. I had tried typing in the validation key, but it didn't work. Eventually I tried copying and pasting in the validation key and it did work, so I must have mistaken some of the zeros for O's and some O's for zeros.

I guess you have to type in the validation key for each different user, including root.
