Hai Gil,

1. You can check from yast control center => misc => view startup log =>
it should be a line with "Starting AntiVir: avupdater"

or you can check with shell-kosole, with root logon (SU command) and
type antivir --help, this is antivirus command line scanner. you can
check your harddisk, your windows partition, etc...

2. If you use this application for personal/private, you can go to
http://www.hbedv.com/en/support/unix_private_registration/index.html,
fill the form and they will send registration file to your email.
Put/copy this registration file to your antivir directory
(usr/lib/Antivir).

3. you should find avmailgate at your suse dvd, it's just the same as in
their website. avmailgate is application for email gateway or email
proxy, so every time you send email, avmailgate will check it first and
resend to other port. for setup this avmailgate, see the manual at
/usr/share/doc/packages/avmailgate/readme.suse

hope it can help;-)
