Being a long time windoze user I was drawn to antivirus software but I now realize I don't need it with Linux. I installed Bitdefender AV for Linux but now cannot find any trace of it to uninstall. How do I get rid of all traces of this.

what file did you download to install it in the first place ?

 

if it was an rpm file then uninstalling rpm's is as easy as

 

rpm -e package

 

where [package] is the rpm file you installed in the first place

 

if the program you installed was installed from source then the INSTALL file should give details of installation plus removal
