11.3. BitDefender update
The BitDefender packages for LinuxDefender are using the system's ramdisk for updatable
files. This way, you can update all virus signatures, scanning engines or antispam databases,
even if you're running the system from a read-only media, as the LinuxDefender CD.
Make sure thatyou have aworking Internet connection.First open BitDefenderRemote Admin
and select Live! Update from the left menu. Press Update Now to check for new updates.
Alternately, you can issue the next command in a terminal.
# /opt/BitDefender/bin/bd update
All update processes are logged into default BitDefender log. You can watch it with the next
command.
# tail -f /ramdisk/BitDefender/var/log/bd.log
If you're using a proxy for outbound connections, configure the Proxy settings in the Live!
Update menu, Configuration tab.
11.4. Virus scanning
11.4.1. How do I access my Windows data?
NTFS Write Support
NTFS write support is available using the Captive NTFS write project. You need two driver
files fromyour Windows installation:ntoskrnl.exe andntfs.sys. Currently,only Windows
XP drivers are supported. Note that you can use them to access Windows 2000/NT/2003 par-
titions too.
Installing NTFS drivers
To access your NTFS Windows partitions and to be able to write data on them, you have to
install the NTFS drivers first. If you're not using NTFS for your Windows partitions, but FAT,
or you need read-only access to your data, you can directly mount the drives and access Win-
dows drives as any Linux drive.
