I downloaded Avast using terminal command wget http://files.avast.com/files/linux/avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb
and the download and installation was successful.
Then I chose check updates(database)
from the interface. As soon as the updates were downloaded the following problem started.
An error occurred in avast! engine: Invalid argument
What should I do to correct the problem?

This is a known problem in Avast. You need to increase the maximum amount of shared memory allowed.
sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=128000000
gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
), and add this line to the end of the filekernel.shmmax = 128000000
