Reinstalling and Uninstalling AntiVir

You can launch the installation script at any time. There are several possible situations, 
such as:

•

Later installation of some components, e.g. AntiVir Guard or Avira Updater.

•

Activating or deactivating the automatic start of Avira Updater or AntiVir Guard.

The procedure applies to all above mentioned cases:

3

First of all, you have to make sure that AntiVir Guard is stopped:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard stop
Open the temporary directory where you unpacked AntiVir Server:
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>
or, for AntiVir Professional:
cd /tmp/antivir-workstation-prof-<version>
Type:
./install

 The installation script performs as described in 

Make the changes you need during installation procedure.

 AntiVir is installed with the required features.

You can use the uninstall script, located in the temporary AntiVir directory, to remove 
Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional. The syntax is:

uninstall [--product=productname] [--inf=inf-file] [--force] 
[--version] [--help]

where 

productname

 is 

Guard

.

Open the AntiVir directory:
cd /usr/lib/AntiVir
Type:
./uninstall --product=Guard

 The script starts uninstalling the product, asking you step by step, if you want to 

keep backups for the license file, for the configuration files and logfiles; it can also 
remove the cronjobs you made for Guard and Scanner.

Answer the questions with y or n and press Enter.

 Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional is removed from your system.
