I am getting confused ...
Just looked at the ebuild for app-antivirus/bitdefender-scanner-7.6.4-r1 an=
d=20
it seems that the user has to fill in a form for an evaluation license only:
http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Downloads/browseEvaluationVersion/2/80/
The free bitdefender only offers MSWindows downloads:
http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html#System Requirements
To use bitdefender for good on a *nix it seems that you have to pay ... :(
Have I got this wrong?
