Today I was searching anti virus software for Linux and I came across Bitdefender. Surprisingly Bitdefender gives away free licenses for home use. Here are the steps to install Bitdefender on Mint 12:<\/p>\n
1. Go to their website http:\/\/download.bitdefender.com\/SMB\/Workstation_Security_and_Management\/BitDefender_Antivirus_Scanner_for_Unices\/Unix\/Current\/EN_FR_BR_RO\/Linux\/ and download the file BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Set the correct permission for BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run<\/strong><\/p>\n # chmod +x BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Then install the dependencies:<\/p>\n #apt-get install ia32-libs libstdc++6:i386 (4.6.1-9ubuntu3, automatic), gcc-4.6-base:i386 libgcc1:i386 libc6:i386<\/p>\n 4. There are a lot more dependencies we’ll have to install. Here a Trick how we’ll get them. We launch the Bitdefender setup script:<\/p>\n #sudo sh .\/BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 5. Write accept and ‘Y” yes for gui installation. The installation will fail!<\/strong> But thats ok (We know what we are doing)\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n 6. Now we have to fix our dependency problem. Because apt is a fabulous package manager we can execute<\/p>\n # apt-get -f -y install<\/em><\/p>\n Which will install all the needed packages.<\/p>\n 7. Now we can execute the install script again<\/p>\n #sudo sh .\/BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run<\/strong><\/p>\n 8. After installing Bitdefender you can launch it form the gnome gui or form the commandline by executing<\/p>\n #\/opt\/BitDefender-scanner\/bin\/bdgui<\/em><\/p>\n 9. You will have a license for 30 days. But if you look at the registration information you’ll find “get a free personal key”! Click on it, fill out the form and get 365 days of antivir protection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today I was searching anti virus software for Linux and I came across Bitdefender.
