How to uninstall Avira antivirus from Ubuntu 14.04?
I installed Avira on my Ubuntu now. These are the commands I used to install Avira:
wget http://dlpe.antivir.com/package/wks_avira/unix/en/pers/antivir_workstation-pers.tar.gz
tar xvzf antivir_workstation-pers.tar.gz
sudo ./antivir-workstation-pers-3.1.3.5-0/install
After installation I tried to open Avira by searching it in the computer, but its not found anywhere. Because of this I want to uninstall it. How to uninstall it ?
Solution 1:
From Official Avira Antivirus man
:
Uninstalling AntiVir.
You can use the uninstall script, located in the temporary AntiVir directory, to remove Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional. The syntax is:
uninstall [--product=productname] [--inf=inf-file] [--force]
[--version] [--help]
where productname is Guard. Open the AntiVir directory:
cd /usr/lib/AntiVir/guard
Type:
./uninstall --product=Guard
The script starts uninstalling the product, asking you step by step, if you want to keep backups for the license file, for the configuration files and logfiles; it can also remove the cronjobs you made for Guard and Scanner.
Answer the questions with y
or n
and press Enter.
Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional is removed from your system.
