Bitdefender: Linux antivirus made simple
We've covered a few Linux antivirus tools here on Ghacks (see “Install Avira Antivirus on Linux†or “Rescue that infected Windows drive with Trinity Rescue†or the articles covering ClamAV). All of those solutions are solid, but none of them offer the Windows-like ease of use that Bitdefender offers.
Now, before you begin this journey with Bitdefender, know that this tool is not free, nor open source. The Linux port of Bitdefender is proprietary and you will have to pay for a license. There is a trial license to use to see if this tool is worth purchasing. I think, after using it, you will find it is worth the purchase price.
In this article I will show you how to install and use Bitdefender on Linux.
