                                Best practices

   These  are  some  steps you should follow to ensure a system free  from
   viruses.
   1. After installing BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices, perform a
      triggered update to have the latest virus signatures and engines.
   2. Perform a full system scan to find any already infected objects.
   3. Make  sure  the license key has not expired and get a new one before
      the expiring date.
   4. If you use 'cron' or something else to do regular updates, make sure
      the  job  scheduler  really  works  and  you  have always the latest
      updates.
   5. When using the 'quarantine' action,  so  the  infected  objects  are
      moved   to   quarantine   directory,  keep  one  eye  on  it.  Check
      periodically the directory size, since it can grow rapidly  and  you
      could  run  out  of  disk  space,  and  take  a  look  at  the files
      BitDefender has found infected. You could simply remove them if  you
      are sure they are infected, you can double check them (the suspected
      objects can be false positive alarms)  and  you  can  send  them  to
      BitDefender Antivirus Lab as described below, for in-depth analysis.
   6. Use BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices to scan all  the  files
      you  have  from  untrusted  sources,  such  as  the Internet, by web
      browsing or  email.  Scan  the  documents,  archives,  programs  and
      anything  else  that  could  contain  malicious  code. Periodically,
      perform a full system scan.
   7. Send   to   BitDefender   Antivirus    Lab    at    email    address
      <virus_submission@bitdefender.com>   all  suspected  objects  for  a
      prompt response to malware threats. To not be filtered by  antivirus
      protected  email  servers,  you  can  archive  the suspected object,
      encrypt the archive and send both the archive and the key.
