6.1. Uninstall the rpm package

#dpkg -r BitDefender-scanner

6.3.Uninstall using the self-extractable archive

To proceed, you need the original self-extractable install archive and use the method described below. This is necessary since the program will automatically undo all the settings used for integration with the system.

All you have to do is to run the following command.

#./BitDefender-scanner-{ver}.{os}.{arch}.run --uninstall

First, the installation directory is requested from you. By default, it should be /opt, but if you have selected another one during the installation, you have to specify it when asked. The uninstall program will check whether the directory is correct, by verifying whether bdscan file exists inside of it. If there is something wrong, the uninstall will quit.
