Re: Bitdefender
This is a bit low effort. If you look on the Bitdefender website you can find out it does not support Linux: https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/t ... urity.html
If you need Bitdefender Total Security you need to use a different operating system.

Re: Bitdefender
+1. Linux doesn't leave unused ports open like Windows, you need a password to install anything (unless you're dumb enough to turn that off), and there are no Linux viruses in the wild because, among other things, you'd have to be nuts to write a Linux viruses with all those Windows boxes out there.

Re: Bitdefender
If you need to scan files you are sharing with windows computers you need it, but in linux you don't need an active antivirus shield.
Re: Bitdefender
Um, no you don't. (How can Bitdefender be gotten anyway if it isn't available for Linux?) That's what https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload is for. Don't install AV on Linux, see links.YoungElder wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:18 pm If you need to scan files you are sharing with windows computers you need it, but in linux you don't need an active antivirus shield.

Re: Bitdefender
Virustotal??? Yes, it's a solution for a few ans small files, not a total solution. There is a version of bitdefender for linux. Linux needs a virus scanner. It does not need an active antivirus, we agree on this.

Re: Bitdefender
PREMIUM SECURITY ? TOTAL SECURITY ? SMALL OFFICE SECURITY ? INTERNET SECURITY ? FAMILY PACK ?
Maybe rather the complete FAMILY PACK included Windows, Mac, Android etc.pp - and that costs how much?
No answer, so I learn about and end up back at the family offer without price - nice loop.
Aha, I see - some scripts are forbidden in my browser.
Well, I think these measures are enough for me.
No Bitdefender family pack.
Maybe someone can find out the price?

Re: Bitdefender
Indeed linux needs no antivirus-malware shield and the need for a file-folder malware scanner it's absolute since we live in a windows worldYoungElder wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:18 pm If you need to scan files you are sharing with windows computers you need it, but in linux you don't need an active antivirus shield.
