Chapter 14. Frequently Asked Questions
1. Installation
1. What are the system requirements?
Please consult Section 4.1 “System requirements” (p. 29) for an up to date
system requirements.
2. Does BitDefender alter my system configuration?
Yes, BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices will touch several system files
(man.config and manpath.config) if found on the system, for manpage
integration. It will also create certain symlinks in /etc and /usr/bin directories
for Linux and in/usr/local/etc and /usr/local/bin directories for FreeBSD.
2. Usage
1. My bdscan program has found a virus in a file, but it does not disinfect it, though
I know that the file can be disinfected. Why does not it disinfect the file?
The --action command line option, with value ignore by default, can be used
to specify what to do when a virus is found. Possible values are disinfect,
delete, quarantine or ignore.
Also, note that there are lots of viruses, so called malware, which can not be
disinfected, because of their internal structure and behavior, so if bdscan finds
such a malware, it is recommended to delete the infected file.
2. How can I tell the virus signatures database is up to date?
Run the following command and look for the line displaying the time of the last
update.
# bdscan --info
