How can I install AVIRA AntiVir?

Hello to everybody!

I know that Linux Not need an AV as desperately as Windows do,
BUT I'd like to have AVIRA AntiVir installed.

(1) From where can I download it?

(2) How can I (please, guide me step-by-step) install AVIRA AntiVir in my Kubuntu environment?

Thank you in advance!

I haven't used it for a long time but AFAIR the package contains installation instructions. If you really think you need real-time protection (you don't, IMHO) you should google for dazuko.

 

This was originally a post at CastleCops, may it rest in peace.

1. (open) Terminal Window
2. Get root/admin rights (type) sudo su
3. Change directories (type) cd(space)/tmp
4. Download Antivir
   (type) wget http://dlce.antivir.com/down/unix/packages/antivir-workstation-pers.tar.gz
   (Note: There is also a liscense file; http://dlce.antivir.com/down/windows/hbedv.key; Not sure how it applies. Maybe someone will point out how?)
5. Extract the downloaded tar file!
   (type) tar xvpzf antivir-workstation-pers.tar.gz
6. Change directory
   (type) cd antivir-workstation-pers
7. Install
   (type) ./install
8. Updating (type) antivir --update
9. Identify NTFS
   (type) cat /etc/fstab
   (This will tell you where your mount point for the NTFS volume is; should be something like /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1)
10. Mount NTFS drive
    (type) ntfs-3g /dev/(your drive) /media/(your drive)
11. Choose a scanning method (type all one line, maintain spaces between flags)
    antivir -lang=EN -rfmalware.txt -r1 --allfiles --alltypes --scan-in-mbox -s -z -onefs -ren /media/(your drive)
    (-ren will rename malware with .xxx instead of deleting)
12. When done unmount NTFS
    (type) unmount /media/(your drive)

I hope this is what you needed. I am not very familiar with linux. For me it is monkey see, monkey do. If there are any inconsistencies or tweaking needed to the above Maybe a Linux Pro will correct where it is wrong.
Also, this was originally written for a windows audience wanting to scan NTFS with Antivir from Knoppix. If you are a Linux only adjust as needed.
