    I visited the downloadpage after getting the key in my mail
    gcc4x.i586.deb.run
    My processorven sounded all the time as loud as never before.
    Nothing happened further.
    Then I openened the terminal and typed:
    cd ~/Desktop
    No such sirectory
    Then I typed:
    sudo sh BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run
    No such command
    So, as often with Linux: to complicated for a normal user.

      i586 will run on all including the x86_64 Intel and AMD processors.
      x86_64 will run only on x86_64 architecture.
      Try i586 deb first.

    Plz Note the file size is 40 MB
    download to desktop.
    type in terminal

    cd ~/Desktop

    hit enter and then type below code or copy paste from here(only from this comment not from post)

    sudo sh BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run

    Note:check the downloaded file version (for me 7.6-4)
    and follow the rest

    Ok downloaded text file to desktop,all ok when I type in cd ~/Desktop, but when I add sudo sh BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run and type my password, I first get the message
    ‘Sorry, try again.’ I type the same password and then get the message ‘sh: Can’t open BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run’

    It seems that I am unable to run a ‘sudo sh’ command. Is this a password issue? or should I be doing something to enable the use of ‘sudo sh’?

    I am relatively new to using the terminal so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks…

    I am trying to download BitDefender, I received the license key and clicked on the link in the email. I browsed to the Linux folder and clicked on the .i586.deb.run file, but it just changes the browser to show the code, I don’t think it is downloading. What should I see after clicking on the .deb file?
