Installing AntiVir
AntiVir is automatically installed using a script. This script performs the following tasks:
•
Checks integrity of the installation files.
•
Checks for the required permissions for the installation.
•
Checks for an existing version of AntiVir on the computer.
•
Copies the program files. Overwrites existing obsolete files.
•
Copies AntiVir configuration files. Existing AntiVir configuration files are inherited.
•
Optionally it creates a link in /usr/bin, so that AntiVir can be called from any folder
without needing a given path.
•
Optionally it installs the Update Daemon and the resident scanner AntiVir Guard.
•
Optionally it configures an automatic start for AntiVir Updater and AntiVir Guard on
system start-up.
The following steps must be taken for the initial installation:

Preparing Installation
Login as root. Otherwise you do not have the required authorization for installation
and the script returns an error message.
Go to the directory in which you unpacked AntiVir:
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>
Installing AntiVir without AntiVir Guard
If you have not compiled the Dazuko kernel module, you can only install AntiVir without
AntiVir Guard. AntiVir Guard can be easily installed later.
Type the command:
./install
Please note the dot and slash in the command syntax. Typing the command without
this path specification, leads to another command, which is not related to AntiVir
installation process and this would result in error messages and unwanted actions.
